North East voluntary adoption agency celebrates a key milestone as 100th Adoption order is granted.

ARC Adoption’s 100th Adoption Granted

ARC Adoption North East, based in Sunderland, see their 100th adoption order granted since opening their doors in 2014.

This momentous adoption order comes at a time when there is an increase in the number of looked after children waiting in care.

To make an adoption legal the adopters apply for an adoption court order. Once the adoption order is awarded the adopters are given parental rights and responsibilities for the child and the adoption becomes permanent.

Director at ARC Adoption North East, Terry Fitzpatrick, is delighted with such an achievement, he said;

“We are all privileged to work in the field of adoption, colleagues and I here at ARC are filled with great pride to announce that we have achieved the tremendous landmark of our 100th adoption order being granted.

Terry added;

This occasion is certainly one to celebrate but more importantly it really emphasises for us the difference we have made to the lives of children who have a plan of adoption and for the families who have come forward to care for them. We now look forward to 2019 when we hope to continue to find families for many more vulnerable children who need the experience of a stable family life.”

Talking about his joy at the adoption order being granted, the adoptive father said;

“We’re so pleased to have the adoption of our daughter completed. We’re so proud of her and how well she copes. She is a funny, happy, beautiful little girl. Our hearts melt when she suddenly pipes up “Mummy, Daddy I love you.” She is so scared of someone coming to take her away, we can now move on with supporting her and giving her the happiness that she doesn’t think that she deserves.

He added;

We couldn’t have done any of this without the support of every single member of staff at ARC. Each and every one of them make a superhuman effort and nothing is ever too much trouble. Anyone considering adoption will find no better support anywhere.”

There are thousands of children in need of a loving and nurturing home, ARC Adoption are continually looking for people who feel they are able to offer this to children so that they can live in families that keep them safe and promote their growth and development.

ARC Adoption North East host informal information evenings the first Thursday of every month, 7pm-8.15pm at Unit 29, North East Business and Innovation Centre (BIC), Wearfield, Enterprise Park East, Sunderland, SR5 2TA for anyone interested in adoption.

It is also very humbling that so many people have therefore chosen ARC to help them make their adoption journey.

ARC Adoption North East achieves ‘Outstanding’ praise from Ofsted

Posted on by

Sunderland based adoption agency ARC Adoption North East have impressed Ofsted inspectors with their continuous drive to improve adoption services both locally and nationally, so much so that they have been rated “Outstanding” in every area that Ofsted considered.

ARC Adoption North East recruits, assesses and approves adopters throughout the country for children needing loving and nurturing homes, meaning that children live in families that keep them safe and promote their growth and development.

In making their judgement of outstanding, inspectors had to consider the overall experiences of both the children and adults that the agency works with taking into account how well they are helped and protected and also the effectiveness of leaders and managers.

The Ofsted inspectors said: “The agency provides extremely high levels of individualised, proactive and flexible adoption support, underpinned by excellent use of theoretical and therapeutic approaches. This supports and equips adopters with the skills and resilience to cope with children’s emotional and psychological difficulties and help transform their lives.”

The report also highlighted feedback from adopters, one of whom said; “The staff that work at ARC are tremendously welcoming and supportive. Our experience with them could not have been better.” Another adopter, who had just been approved, said; “this agency is staggeringly good”

Ofsted also highlighted the agency’s extremely strong focus on adoption support, saying that” its recognition of the ongoing and lifelong nature of adoption support, is highly impressive. This empowers all people who use the service and helps improve their lives”.

Director at ARC Adoption North East, Terry Fitzpatrick welcomes the outstanding judgement, he said:

“This is a tremendous achievement that the whole team are really proud of. We all feel that it is a great privilege to work in the field of adoption and we are fortunate to have been given a chance, as a North East based agency, to be highly influential in the adoption field both regionally and nationally. This demonstrates the level of experience, professionalism and commitment that exists within the team at ARC Adoption all of which helps to bring about excellent outcomes for children and their families”

Terry added;

We are delighted that Ofsted recognised that we undertake all work with efficiency, thoroughness, and with a child focus. There are thousands of children in need of a loving and nurturing home and we hope that being officially recognised as being outstanding will encourage those considering adoption to get in touch with the team at ARC Adoption where they will receive outstanding support and an outstanding high-quality service that will enhance their lives.”
