When you are exploring adoption, you will discover that you have a choice about which agency you can use depending on where you live in the UK. Either your regional adoption agency or a voluntary adoption agency like ours here at CCS. Read more about the differences here.

We work with most families who live in these areas: Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire.

We encourage you to explore and find the agency that suits you the best. But here’s why we think you should consider us.

Finding families for children who need them since 1904

We’re one of the largest voluntary adoption agencies in the South West and find homes for 15-20 children every year.

Therapy

Since 2017 we have built a multi-disciplinary, therapy service to provide professional clinical assessments and therapeutic support for our adoptive families. With funding through the Adoption Support Fund, we are able to create individual, bespoke packages of support wherever they are needed by our families.
