North Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership

Adoption can provide a permanent family for a child in care who cannot return to their birth family.

Most children requiring adoption are of primary school age or younger. Some will need extra support with their education. They could be single children, or groups of brothers and sisters. Some may have a disability that could affect their development or mobility.

If you are interested in adopting, please call the team on the contact details below. Alternatively, you can email  and someone will get back to you. Please include your name, contact telephone number and address in your email, as well as stating whether you are interested in fostering or adoption.

You can also use the enquiry about adoption using the form below:

People adopted in Scotland have the right to access their birth information (once they reach 16 years of age). We provide a counselling service to help adoptive parents and children through this process.
