Adoption Cumbria urges families to consider adopting children

Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 10:28 · Archive

Adoption Cumbria is inviting prospective families to consider adoption during National Adoption Week (19–25 October 2025).

Adoption Cumbria is using National Adoption Week (19–25 October 2025) to invite people across the county to consider making a difference to a child waiting for a family. The Regional Adoption Agency for Cumberland and Westmorland & Furness Councils says children of all ages are waiting to find homes, some as individuals and others as sibling groups.

The agency is working to counter myths about adoption that it says prevent people from considering it. According to Adoption Cumbria, many people believe there is a 'perfect' adopter profile, when in fact prospective adopters come from all walks of life.

The agency says it welcomes enquiries from people who are single, married, in same-sex relationships, renting their homes, or who already have children. What matters most, it states, is the ability to provide a child with love, stability, patience and a lifelong commitment.

Adoption Cumbria says families come in many different forms and is encouraging anyone who has considered adoption to contact the service. The organisation believes that every child deserves a safe, loving and stable home where they can thrive.
