Adoption North West

Find your local adoption agency

If you’re thinking about adoption, you can choose to enquire through your Regional Adoption Agency (RAA) or a Voluntary Adoption Agency (VAA).

Regional Adoption Agencies (RAAs) are groups of local councils that look after and match children waiting for families in their specific area. Voluntary Adoption Agencies (VAAs) are independent charities that recruit and support adopters across the north west. We work closely together to find the right family for every child.
