Adoption
West Dunbartonshire HSCP needs families for children of all ages, sometimes children on their own or with their brothers and sisters, with a wide range of needs but with a great deal to offer their new family.
Adopters don't need qualifications - they need to be genuinely committed to offering a permanent stable, loving and nurturing home to children who have experienced loss in their lives.
Criteria for Adopting:
All applicants must be over 21 years old
Applications should be able to parent a child until they reach the age of independence
Applications will be accepted from:
- Single Applicants
- Married Couples
- Non married couples/same sex couples/LGBT
Applications will be accepted from enquirers both, with or without children.
Applications will not be accepted from enquirers currently undergoing any form of infertility treatment or who are on a waiting list for treatment.
