Could you adopt baby Suki?

Little Suki is a beautiful baby girl with a gentle, expressive nature and the sweetest morning smile. At just four months old, she already has a special way of letting the world know what she needs - comfort, calm, and a loving touch.

Suki thrives on closeness. She loves to be held, cuddled, and spoken to softly. Busy or noisy places can feel a bit much for her, but in a calm, nurturing environment, she feels happy and content. Her foster carer describes her as a sensitive little soul who finds peace in quiet moments and security in gentle, consistent care.

Suki has some ongoing health needs that are being explored by professionals, so she will need adoptive parents who can offer her patience, stability, and close partnership with her healthcare team. She’ll flourish in a home where she can grow at her own pace, surrounded by calm routines, soft voices, and plenty of love.

If you think you could offer Suki the loving, peaceful home she deserves, we’d love to hear from you.

Logan needs a new family...

Say hello to Logan - a bright, confident, and loving little boy who’s full of energy, curiosity and imagination!

Logan is five years old and has the biggest smile that lights up every room he walks into. He loves being outdoors, riding his bike, swimming, and going on adventures with his foster family. When he’s at home, you’ll often find him dressed up as his favourite superhero, Spiderman, or creating exciting stories with his toy cars and dinosaurs.

Described by his foster carers as kind, caring, and easy-going, Logan has a big heart and loves to make people smile. He’s settled well at school, made lots of friends, and enjoys learning new things every day.

Logan is looking for a loving, stable forever family who can give him the care, patience, and encouragement he deserves. With the right support and plenty of love, Logan will continue to thrive and share his warmth with everyone around him.

If you think you could be the family to give Logan the happy, secure home he needs, we’d love to hear from you.

The latest podcast episode is here 🎧

Worried you don’t have the “perfect home” or that you’re not ready to adopt? You’re not alone.

In our latest episode, adopters Emma and Mike share their real experiences of preparing (and feeling unprepared!) to welcome their two children home.

Hosted by social worker Cat, this episode tackles common misconceptions, offers practical advice, and reminds us that readiness isn’t about perfection - it’s about openness, commitment, and building connection over time.

Tune in for reassurance, support, and honest stories to help you feel empowered on your adoption journey.

Search 'You Can Adopt' wherever you get your podcasts.

This National Adoption Week, we’re celebrating the many ‘perfectly imperfect’ homes built through adoption – each one unique and filled with love.

Adoption isn’t about having all the answers – it’s about opening your home, and your heart, to the possibility. The adoption application process is there to guide, prepare and support you to ensure that this is the right decision.

Meet Freya and Noah, a gorgeous sibling duo who share the most special bond. 💕
✨ Freya is a caring, affectionate little girl with a big heart and the sweetest giggle. She loves singing, dancing, and putting on little shows at home. She thrives on routine, adores story time and is happiest when cuddled up with her special blanket.

✨ Noah is a cheeky, adventurous little boy with a smile that lights up the room. He’s full of energy, loves being outdoors splashing in puddles or bouncing on the trampoline, and enjoys singing along to “Wheels on the Bus.” His blanket is his favourite comfort at bedtime.

Together, they are inseparable -laughing over breakfast in their pyjamas, dancing around the living room and exploring the world hand in hand.
Freya and Noah need a forever family who can offer them love, patience, and security, helping them continue to grow, thrive and have a happy life.
