  • 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!
