An adoption agency is appealing for help for a ‘growing number’ of older children, sibling groups and children with disabilities.

Families for Children Trust is a specialist adoption agency and charitable trust based in the South West that places vulnerable children from all over the UK with new adoptive families in Devon, Dorset, Cornwall, Somerset and the Isles of Scilly.  

A spokesman said: ‘We are looking for more adopters to come forward quite quickly.’

Upcoming information  sessions where people can learn about becoming an adopter and how we can support you for life.

The next meeting in Cornwall is at Foot Anstey’s offices in High Water House, Malpas Road, Truro on February 18 (10am to noon).
