One Adoption Chat
Episode 10 LGBTQ+ adoption
In our special edition of One Adoption chat we explore LGBTQ+ adoption.
We meet Jono and Grace who have both adopted twice with their partners, and share how they found the adoption process and being LGBTQ+ adoptive parents.
We are also joined by One Adoption North and Humber team manager Cassy who shares how being LGBTQ+ is explored during assessment, what support you can expect and how the agency recognises and values the additional strengths being LGBTQ+ brings to being an adoptive parent.
To clarify a point made in this episode, the Adoption and Children Act 2002 became law in December 2005, which gave same sex couples the same rights to adopt as heterosexual couples.
