Every Adoption Focus adopter who has had a child placed is eligible use Adopterverse, and currently more than 500 people are set up on the platform.

It is accessed via the secure login area of the Adoption Focus website and on it users can:

Make links with other adopters with similar interests

We’re so delighted to deliver Adopterverse. It’s the latest expansion of the Ofsted Outstanding-rated support we provide to our families and we will continue to develop it in partnership with them over the coming months.

About us

Adoption Focus is a Voluntary Adoption Agency and a registered charity which has been rated by OFSTED as "Outstanding" for a number of years. It helps to support those looking to become adopters providing guidance, training and advice whenever this is needed and undertaking therapeutic interventions with individual families when difficulties are encountered.

The agency provides lifelong support which is important as many children have experienced trauma in their very short lives and this can have a long-lasting impact on them and their new families. Domestic abuse, drug taking, alcohol misuse and neglect are just a few of the things a child may have experienced. Many children will regress and hide away in an attempt to protect themselves from further harm.

Many children are lucky enough to find their forever home with adoptive parents through Adoption Focus and this is why our work is so important. As a registered charity we depend on generous donations from the public to help provide the interventions children and adoptive parents need, to facilitate them to develop coping mechanisms, as part of the Post Adoption Support Functions at Adoption Focus.
