Who we are
We provide independent advice, counselling and support to anyone affected by or dealing
with the challenges and opportunities of adoption.
The Centre was founded in 1986 to meet the needs of adults and children experiencing
problems arising from adoption. Its origins were in a growing recognition that adoption isn't always a neat
happy ending, but often brings specific problems of its own. To meet changes in adoption practice, the Centre
has developed a range of services that reflect the complexities of contemporary adoption. We now offer support,
counselling, advice, and therapeutic input to individuals, couples or families.
Around 1850 people use the Post-Adoption Centre's services each year, mainly covering
London and the south-east of England.
The Centre's Director and counsellors are all professionally qualified and have a wide
experience of adoption and post-adoption work. The multi-racial counselling workers are supported by external
consultants, administrative and fundraising staff.
The Centre has particular experience of working with black and multi-racial children and
families and trans-racially adopted adults, as well as gay and lesbian adopted people.
