What We Do
We are a community group of parents representing adoptive families within the Southern Trust. Our committee was established by parents from the adoptive community.
A community where every family belongs.
Forever Families is a group of adoptive parents supporting each other through programmes, fundays, training and advocacy, guided by the lived experience of our members.
What we stand for
Built by parents, for parents.
02
Support
We provide programmes, fundays, training and support that will directly benefit your children and your family, the things we wished we'd had ourselves.
03
Our Promise
We always advocate to improve experiences and services offered to adoptive families. We provide emotional support and guidance. Everyone's journey is unique, there are no experts, but we have adoption in common and that can make a huge difference.
Fundays & events
Memories made together.
From family trips to youth group outings, our fundays bring our families together so children meet others who share their story and parents find friends who truly understand.
- ✓Family fundays throughout the year
- ✓Age-appropriate activities for every child
- ✓A judgement-free space to be yourselves
Training & support
Walk the journey with people who get it.
We host training sessions, parent groups and one-to-one support that meets you where you are, whether you're in the early years, or navigating teen life.

Finding Forever Families meant our children finally had friends who shared their story, and we found a circle of parents who just get it.

Come and be part of it.
Some want support for a reason, others just want to connect. Many will understand the struggles of parenting, but only a select few will understand an adoptive family.
