Make a positive change to a child's life today
Families for Children have always specialised in placing the most vulnerable children with secure and loving adoptive families. These children specifically include older children (age 4 and up), sibling groups who need to stay together, and children with additional needs.
It is these children we search long and hard to find families for. We are focussing our search for adoptive families for this group of children and urge anyone who has considered adoption to come and learn more about adopting a 'priority child' and contact us today.

"Thank you so much for a fantastic day at the South Devon Family Adventure Day.
We ALL loved it! The setting is beautiful; barn, camp fire area, pizza oven and land around fantastic.
The children really took to Jon (Outdoor Centre Manager), my son said to me yesterday that he was a 'really good guy'!!
Can't wait for the next one!!"
