Yorkshire Adoption Agency Is Launching a Brand-New Website and Updating Its Image To Reflect the Changing Face of Adoption

At 78 years old, Yorkshire Adoption Agency is one of the oldest adoption agencies in the country and, across that time, has seen huge changes occur in its field. From their beginnings as the Doncaster Adoption and Family Welfare Society, with a focus on adoption of children of unmarried mothers to our current approach to adoption: helping adopters and children from all backgrounds to become family.

We pride ourselves on our long history of wrap-around support but are also a forward-thinking agency. We felt it was time to update our image and launch a brand-new website. The website has been developed in partnership with our adopters, two especially have given hugely of their time and expertise. Our new colours have been inspired by springtime, which brings new beginnings, and reflects our modern approach to adoption.
One of our biggest challenges is finding homes for back children who may wait much longer for adoption.

Did you know that some black children may face a lifetime in care because there are no adopters able to provide a home?  
 
We know that Black African and Afro-Caribbean communities are hugely generous and giving but often face barriers when considering adoption. We are reaching out to anyone who is interested in adoption or may be able to help us to spread the word to get in touch at info@yorkshireadoptionagency.org.uk
 
If you are interested you may want to check out our short interview, listening to Ray: our chair of Trustees (the only black chair in the UK) and Anna, a black trustee who was adopted by a white family in the late 1970’s speaking on BBC Radio Yorkshire.

Of course, we continue to welcome enquiries from anyone who is interested in adoption, regardless of race, religion, or sexuality, whether single or part of a couple.
