Information Events and Workshops

Welcome to ARC Adoption’s events page where you can find a range of online and in-person events that we have coming up soon.

Some events we run specially for those thinking about adoption, to provide more information on the process, as well as a range of events and practical workshops for our approved adopters and those currently going through the approval process. Simply click on the events below for more information and to register your place. 

We understand that it can be difficult to take that first step towards adoption and to talk about certain things in group settings, so as well as our scheduled information events, we are always available for a one-on-one chat, should you prefer it.  Simply submit an enquiry here and a member of the team will contact you directly.

  • How adoption works

    How adoption works

    Adoption is a way of providing new families for children who cannot be looked after by their birth parents and need to belong to a new family.

  • How long does the UK adoption process take?

  • Matching panel

    Matching panel

    Once the family finding process is complete the match will need to be agreed formally by the adoption panel for the child’s agency. If approval is recommended by the adoption panel for the match, the child’s adoption agency decision maker then makes the final decision.

  • Fostering for adoption

    Fostering for adoption

    At ARC Adoption North East are committed to exploring different routes to adoption. ARC Adoption offers an early permanence route, often referred to as fostering for adoption or foster to adopt. Fostering for adoption means that young children, usually babies, are placed at a young age with approved potential adopters who would also be approved temporary foster carers whilst the family court decides on the child’s future.

  • Initial visit

    Initial visit

    Following your initial enquiry, if you would like to progress with the adoption process a member of ARC Adoption North East’s team will visit you in your home. The initial visit will be very informal and take place at a date and time that is convenient for you and will last about two hours. It’s an opportunity to have your questions answered in more detail and help the team get to know you better.

  • Checks and references

    Checks and references

    Stage one of the adoption process begins after you have received some general information, an initial visit at your home and ARC Adoption North East are in receipt of your ‘registration of interest’ from you.

  • Finding the right child for you

    Finding the right child for you
