Adoption Mid and West Wales
We are the regional adoption service for Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Powys.
We work to find safe, loving and permanent homes for children across Mid and West Wales who cannot live with their birth families, while providing support to adoptive families, adopted children, young people and adults, and birth families.
All children are different, and so are the people who adopt them. We're looking for people from a wide range of backgrounds who can offer children stability, care and commitment.
If you're aged 21 or over, you could adopt. There is no upper age limit. We welcome applications from individuals and couples, whatever your relationship status, sexuality, beliefs or ethnicity, and whether or not you already have children.
What matters most is what you can bring to a child’s life. We’ll support you to develop the confidence, skills and resilience needed to become an adoptive parent.
