Adopt in Wales with St David’s
- Established in 1942, St. David’s is the longest serving adoption agency in Wales placing over 2,000 Welsh children for adoption.
- In our last 100 adoption placements we had a breakdown rate of 3%. This is the lowest breakdown rate of any adoption agency in the UK. In effect 97% of our adoption placements are successful.
- This year we anticipate achieving 35 adoption placements which will result in 1 in every 7 children placed for adoption in Wales being placed by St. David’s.
- 95% of our adopters are approved within 8 months of their first response to St. David's adoption agency.
- 90% of our adopters have children placed with them within 12 months of their point of first contact.
- Our very recent CSSIW inspection report reflected an outstanding service.
- If you would like a high quality, supportive adoption service, contact us now.
