Thinking about Adoption?

There are currently around 66 children in Warrington, Wigan and St.Helens who need forever families to help them flourish.

Could you look after them? Dry their tears? Wash their muddy Rugby kit? Teach them to ride a bike? Call them your own?

The three Local Authority adoption services have collaborated to form WWiSH, in a bid to make the local adoption process more efficient and to help overcome the nationally recognised shortage of people wishing to adopt.

The service aims to pool resources and make the adoption process more efficient and more effective through widening the pool of prospective carers. This makes it easier and more likely to place children with families best suited to their individual needs.

WWiSH also offers an enhanced Adoption Support Service which supports adopters, adopted children and those adults who were adopted as children. The innovative shared adoption service serves all three Local Authorities and the wider area.

WWiSH is also part of Adoption22, a collaboration of the North West Local Authority adoption agencies. Adoption 22 aims to help agencies share resources and information, widening the pool of carers even further and helping to achieve the best outcomes for children and families.

This website aims to provide outline information about adopting with WWiSH, but is by no means exhaustive. Our team can assist you with any questions you may have, and if you proceed with an adoption application, you will receive a wealth of additional information.
