Adoption and post-adoption support

Can I get support?

We offer adoption and post-adoption services to people who have adopted a child from Hillingdon or adopted through another local authority and it is more than 3 years since the adoption order was granted.

We can support you if:

  • you adopted a child from Hillingdon and you live in the borough
  • you adopted a child from Hillingdon but live outside of the borough and it is less than 3 years since the adoption order was made (after 3 years, the local authority/regional adoption agency where you live will provide adoption support) or 
  • you live in Hillingdon and adopted through another local authority and it is more than 3 years since the adoption order was granted (before that, the local authority that placed the child will be responsible for providing adoption support).
