Adoption Support
Support for all affected by adoption
Hello and welcome to the Adoption Support Team.
We support adoptive families. Permanence is a lifelong experience, and we are here to support all families within the Adopt Thames Valley Region from the start of your journey and into the future. This may be as the adopted person, a birth family member or parent, or an adult affected by adoption.
Adoptive families often need support at the start of their new life together as well as navigating life as children age and develop. There may be times when you need specialist practical and therapeutic support, to help you and your child understand their history and the impact their early experiences may have on your daily lives.
The Adoption Support Team offers a range of support from therapeutic interventions to fun days out. Please scroll through this section to find further information on the services we can provide and the support available. If you would like a service, would like to enquire further on what is available, or simply have a question, please contact our Front Door which operates every weekday except Bank Holidays from 8:30-5 (8:30-4 on Fridays) please call 01865 323121 or email ATV.PermanenceSupport@oxfordshire.gov.uk.
