Everyone's invited along to a coffee morning at the Lochgelly Centre on Wednesday 5 November from 10am-1pm to celebrate and ask questions about adoption.
Fife Council's Permanence Resource Team along with current adopters, adoptees and birth families are holding the event to mark Adoption Week 2025, which starts next week (Monday 3 November).
People can pop in for a cuppa and cake to learn all about what it is like adopting a child with Fife Council as an adoption agency, the adoption process, how it positively affects children and young people, support adopters and birth parents receive from the council and each other, and interactions with birth families.
Offering a child a home for life is one of the biggest and most life-changing decisions you can make, and, by choosing to adopt, you are offering a child a stable, secure and loving permanent home.
Euan Kelso, Fife Council Permanence Resource Team Manager, commented: "For many children, adoption remains the best option for meeting their needs. In Fife we want to make sure that adopted children and young people are loved and provided with the stability and nurture they need to thrive into adulthood.
“At our most recent prep group, we welcomed 5 prospective adoptive households, which is brilliant. And, we’ve already got potential adopters signed up for our next one in early 2026.
"This coffee morning is a great place for anyone considering adopting a child to understand more about the process, meet people who have been through the whole journey, and meet some of our Team. We want to answer your questions about adopting with Fife Council and celebrate adoptions stories. We'd love to see you there!"
