All services subject to availability. The Team supports and supervises adoptive placements and offers post adoption services when required. The Team provides section 51 counselling under the Adoption Act 1976 to adopted adults whose adoptions the Society arranged, and assist the adopted person in tracing their birth relatives. The Team also counsels parents who are considering placing an expected child for adoption. Home study assessments for intercountry adoptions are undertaken on behalf of various councils in the North West area.
PACT provides information, training and support for people wanting to find out more about adoption.
This is achieved through both adoption and bridge fostering schemes. We offer an adoption service to enquirers from within the counties of Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and the Slough area of Berkshire. We work with Armed Forces personnel and their families. In Germany there is an Adoption Panel and a fully adoption service is offered. In other overseas locations and in the UK, the service may be limited although Service personnel anywhere in the world can receive advice in all areas of adoption.
