Fundraising
We run lots of great fundraising events - from treks along the Great Wall of China to bicycle rides around York. As well as raising money for us - these events are a great opportunity to meet people concerned with adoption and fostering and to learn more. Why not come along to one and see what we're about? Go to this section.
Other websites
BAAF is responsible for the following websites.
- Adoption Register - driven by a database that stores details of children awaiting adoption where their own agency has not been able to find the right adoptive family, and details of approved adopters awaiting a placement where their own agency has not been able to match them with appropriate children
- Adoption Search Reunion - the first port of call for anyone thinking about searching for or making contact with birth and adopted relatives or researching an adoption that took place in the UK.
- Be My Parent - helps find families for hundreds of children every year. Similarly, Scotland’s Scottish Children Waiting helps link children with families across Scotland.
- Independent Review Mechanism - this is a review process, conducted by a panel, which current foster carers, prospective adopters and foster carers can use when they have been told that their adoption or fostering agency does not propose to approve them as suitable to adopt or foster a child.
- National Adoption Week - is a campaign website for the activities held for one week in November, to raise awareness of the need for children needing parents.
- Somebody Else's Child - a national campaign to raise awareness of private fostering.
