As part of National Adoption Week, which takes place from October 16 to October 22, the team will be holding those interested in finding out more about adoption can attend an informal open evening at the White Swan Centre, in Killingworth on October 19.

Everyone is welcome at the open evening and members of the fostering and adoption team will be on hand between 6pm and 8pm to answer any questions.

Adopters have praised the friendly and dedicated support provided by the Fostering and Adoption service at every stage - from initial enquiry, through to a child being placed and beyond.
