After Adoption: Helping everyone affected by adoption
'I could talk about things that I couldn’t with other people.'
'Thank you for listening to me. I needed someone to tell me I wasn’t wrong for feeling like this.'
TALKadoption is the only national helpline for young people under 26 who want to talk about anything to do with adoption. Calls are free and confidential*
Sometimes it's hard to talk to the people closest to us about how we feel. So why not call us instead? We are here to listen to what adoption means to you and to help you figure things out.
If you are:-
• adopted
• waiting to be adopted
• a young birth parent whose children have been adopted
• a brother or sister of adopted children
• friends with young people involved in adoption
We are here to listen.
TALKadoption is open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday (9-6pm), Tuesday (9-8pm) and Friday (9-4pm). We also operate an out of office hours answering service and are happy to return calls if you would like to leave your contact details. We aim to return your call on the next working day.
*Some mobile phone networks may charge for calls to freephone numbers. These calls may also be itemised in the phone bill.
You can also e-mail us if you would rather not speak on the telephone. Contact us at actionline@afteradoption.org.uk
