Adoption
LGBTQ+ & Adoption
Kibble Adoption is an inclusive provider and we actively welcome LGBTQ+ individuals and couples to join our incredible team. Our ethos is simple, we look for adoptive parents who have the ability to offer stability, compassion, and understanding to a child who needs it most.
If you can provide a safe, stable, and loving home where a child or children can feel valued and supported, then we want to hear from you. We welcome people from all walks of life and are here to guide and support you every step of the way on your adoption journey.
When you adopt with Kibble, you become part of the New Family Social network, a community we’re proud to belong to. As a prospective adopter / adoptive parent, you’ll receive complimentary Gold Membership, giving you access to dedicated online forums, in-person and virtual events, expert-led webinars, peer support, and inspiring podcasts.
New Family Social is dedicated to supporting and connecting LGBTQ+ adoptive and foster families, helping you build strong, happy, and lasting relationships with guidance, community, and understanding every step of the way. You can download their leaflet with more information at the bottom of this page.
Take a look at some of our feedback from LGBTQ+ Adopters.
“I waited 25-years for the ‘perfect time’ to become a parent. It never came. I carried the wish quietly and I’ve realised the perfect time doesn’t exist but the courage to begin does. As a single LGBTQ+ prospective adopter, I’ve chosen to believe in myself and believe that now is the time. I feel grateful for the support of Kibble to help me move forward.”

“From the very beginning Kibble made the process feel welcoming and relaxed. As a same-sex couple we were immediately reassured that we would be fully supported, and it was great to hear they work with organisations like New Family Social and already have other same-sex couples in the adoption process.”

“If we could go back, the only thing we’d change is starting sooner. We were so focused on waiting until everything felt ‘perfect’ that we nearly talked ourselves out of the most meaningful thing we’ve ever done. The truth is, there is no perfect time, but with the right agency behind you, the process meets you where you are and helps you grow into the parent your child needs.”

“We spent years telling ourselves it wasn’t the right time. We’d been through unsuccessful fertility treatment, we were processing that grief, we wanted to feel more ‘settled’ and there was always a reason to wait. But when we finally took the first step and made that initial enquiry, everything changed.”
