Being assessed to become an adoptive parent can be quite intense, so you need to know that you are ready to start the process.
To consider adoption you need to:
- Be over the age of 21
 - Be a resident in the United Kingdom
 - Have a spare room
 - Have lived in Cornwall for more than 2 years
 - Have been a non-smoker for at least 6 months (this includes e-cigarettes)
 - Have concluded fertility treatments for a period of at least 6 months
 - Have the time and energy to commit to the adoption process
 - Be ready to be honest and open about your life experiences!
