As part of LGBTQ+ Adoption & Fostering Week 2023, which is being organised by New Family Social, St Andrew’s Children’s Society are  holding an Information Evening at their Edinburgh office on Thursday, 9 March from 6pm to 7.30pm.

There is no need to register unless you want to receive a reminder about the event in which case register a free place on Eventbrite.

If you are thinking about adopting, St Andrew’s can tell you about:

  • the adoption process
  • what it’s like to adopt a child
  • the lifelong adoption support the organisation offers to their families

If you want to find out more about becoming a foster carer, St Andrews can tell you all about:

  • the fostering process
  • the children waiting to be fostered
  • what it’s like to foster a child
  • the support St Andrew’s offer, including training and events
  • the financial support available to all our foster carers

Everyone is welcome to apply to become either an adopter or a foster carer, including single people. The charity will be joined by one of their many LGBTQ+ adopters who will talk about their experiences of adopting. They will be happy to answer any questions. 

The LGBTQ+ Adoption & Fostering Information Evening will take place in our Edinburgh office:

St Andrew’s Children’s Society 7 John’s Place Edinburgh EH6 7EL
