Adoption UK Scotland

Adoption UK in Scotland operates from our office base in Edinburgh, providing information, support and advice to those parenting children who are no longer able to live with their birth families, across Scotland. Our services are provided through our helpline, online support systems, training workshops and support groups.

We work closely with voluntary adoption agencies and local authorities across Scotland. If you are based in Scotland and are interested in adopting a child please contact us for information and advice about the routes to adoption in your area.

Our helpline advisers offer practical suggestions, information and encouragement, or can point you in the right direction for specialist help. Wherever you are in the process, whatever difficulties you are having, make our helpline your first port of call.

Our Helpline number is: 0300 666 0006
(Options to select which nation Helpline you would like to talk to will be be offered once the above number has been called).

Our general helpline is open Mon-Fri 10am-2:30pm and our FASD Hub Scotland helpline is open Tues-Fri 10am-2:30pm

Please note, we record all of the calls to our Helpline teams. Should you wish for your call to remain anonymous, please let the advisor know at the start of your call.
