Adoption for LGBTQ+ in the Serving Military Community

SSAFA is committed to promoting equality and diversity, particularly in LGBTQ+ adoption. They encourage applications from the entire military community, including LGBTQ+ individuals. SSAFA has a growing network of LGBTQ+ adopters, and their Social Workers and Adoption Panel members have received specialised training in LGBTQ+ adoption. They collaborate closely with organisations like the Armed Forces, Stonewall, and New Family Social to provide support to LGBTQ+ adopters. In 2021, SSAFA Adoption received the Rising Star Agency award from New Family Social in recognition of their work with LGBTQ+ adopters. If you have questions or concerns about adopting as an LGBTQ+ family or any other aspect of the adoption process, you can contact SSAFA Adoption for assistance. They emphasize that the adoption process is adaptable to individual needs and circumstances.

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, provides lifetime support to serving men and women, veterans and military families in need.
