Home for Good is working with St David’s Adoption Service, an all-Wales adoption charity dedicated to finding families based in Wales for children with a plan for adoption.
"From the outset, the level of support offered surpassed our expectations. The training we received during the adoption process was so useful along with the level of support going through the process and since our family was completed. Their staff are amazing, our social worker was a font of knowledge and support. I would not hesitate in recommending this organisation to anyone looking to expand their family."
Adoptive parent
| Since 1942, St David’s Adoption Service has been enabling and supporting adoptive families to help children grow and thrive. On average, each year they place over 30 children in Wales with families who will commit to and care for them. |
| With a faith-based heritage, as an organisation they welcome applicants from all faiths and celebrate the diverse qualities and unique experiences people from church communities can bring. |
| In 2019, St David’s was inspected by the Care Inspectorate Wales. The overall assessment found the organisation to be ‘well led and managed and works in collaboration with other agencies to improve services and outcomes for children…The staff, managers and panel are experienced; well trained and motivated and committed to quality assurance and the continuing improvement of the service.’ |
| St David’s Adoption Service is committed to making sure its families receive the best post-adoption care. They offer ongoing personal support and expertise whenever and however families need it. You are never alone when you adopt through St David’s – their social workers will be beside you every step of the way providing universal, targeted and specialist adoption support designed to help meet your needs. |
| Every month, St David’s host support groups which bring their adoptive families together – this is in addition to their twice-yearly family fun days! They also provide online and in-person training and workshops as well as information, advice and advocacy from their social workers. Their partnership arrangements mean there is access to clinical psychologist-led workshops, programmes and one-to-one sessions should they be needed.. |
"I can’t recommend St David’s enough. They are a special team of professionals without whom our adoption journey would have been more difficult. Their child-and-family-centred approach ensures you are supported every step of the way. St David’s have enabled us to become the family we always wanted to be and we will always be grateful for their caring support."

Mae Home for Good yn cydweithio â Gwasanaeth Mabwysiadu Dewi Sant, elusen fabwysiadu ar gyfer Cymru gyfan sy’n ymroi i ddod o hyd i deuluoedd yng Nghymru ar gyfer plant sydd â chynllun mabwysiadu.
"O'r dechrau'n deg, roedd y gefnogaeth a gynigiwyd yn rhagori ar ein disgwyliadau. Cawsom hyfforddiant defnyddiol iawn yn ystod y broses fabwysiadu a chefnogaeth ardderchog wrth fynd trwy’r broses ac ers i’n teulu ddod yn gyflawn. Mae eu staff yn anhygoel – roedd ein gweithiwr cymdeithasol yn ffynnon ddihysbydd o wybodaeth a chefnogaeth. Byddwn i'n barod iawn i argymell y sefydliad hwn i unrhyw un sy'n awyddus i ychwanegu at eu teulu."
