Peer support groups are run by Volunteer Coordinators - adoptive parents who are local members of Adoption UK and who provide encouragement, support and advice based on their own lived experience to adopters and prospective adopters.
Adoption UK offers a range of services, support and information to the adoption community in Northern Ireland, including community support through our programme of peer support groups and regular family events; and providing training programmes and educational resources on adoption-related topics.
