"We adopted our five year old little girl via ARC Adoption. We have been so well supported by ARC throughout the process and continue to have that same level of support post-adoption. We have been given access to the Adopter hub, undertaken Theraplay training, assigned our own support worker, invited to a private Facebook group to share tips and advice with other adopters and we know our social worker is there if we need her. Arc’s professionalism has been excellent from the start. No question is ever too small and they are always so happy to help. We feel blessed to have found our perfect match thanks to ARC Adoption."

Going through the application process your staff were thorough, supportive, encouraging, quick to respond any queries we had and communication was great.

The time and effort that all the staff put in to you becoming a parent to a child that needs a home is simply outstanding. No question was silly question and through the process they totally made us feel at ease.” Tony

"It was our second farm visit organised by ARC and it never disappoints. From the warm welcome as we arrived from the ARC team to the variety of things to see and do it was a fab day out. The opportunity to spend time with other ARC families, catch up and share stories was invaluable. The kids loved meeting other kids and had an awesome time pumpkin carving, holding animals, going to wizard school and doing the treasure hunt. Thank you ARC!" Adopter following our Halloween farm visit 2021
"Having ARC support us through our adoption process has been the best decision we have made. The team are super friendly and have been so helpful answering all our questions at every stage, making us feel that no question we ask is silly or to much. There training support has all been well presented and very educational, giving us the set up we need to become great adopters. I really can't recommend them enough." Adopter feedback from ARC's annual evaluation survey 2021
"From day one till the approval panel and beyond ARC have been with us every step of the way. The helpful staff have guided us along our journey to starting a family. We couldn't have done this without ARC and I would not hesitate to recommend ARC to anyone wanting to even enquire about adoption." Adopter feedback from ARC's annual evaluation survey 2021
