Children and young people

It is not a good idea to consider adoption at times when you are coping with stressful situations in other areas of your life, for example if:

• you are planning major changes, such as moving house or job,
• you are currently undergoing infertility treatment,
• you are experiencing serious financial difficulties,
• you have suffered bereavement within your family in the past year, such as death of a spouse or child,
• you have recently separated from your partner.
