Attend an online event

Our online adoption information events are the ideal introduction, whether you're new to the idea of adoption or have been researching it for a while.

They last around an hour. At each event, our Adoption Cumbria experts will give an overview of the adoption process, the timescales involved and answer any questions guests many have. We also welcome a guest speaker who is kind enough to share their own experiences of adoption.

(Don't worry if you are used to Zoom or don't have Microsoft Teams installed - anyone can join a Teams meeting via their web browser, using the link we send)

Our next events are:

  • Tuesday 28 October - 6pm
  • Saturday 29 November - 10am

To register for any of our information events visit our event booking page

Book a private in-person session

For those who prefer a personal conversation, private one-to-one sessions are also available throughout National Adoption Week 2025 at local venues around the county:

  • Monday 20 October – Ulverston
  • Tuesday 21 October – Penrith
  • Wednesday 22 October – Workington
  • Thursday 23 October – Carlisle

Time slots available: 10am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm

It’s a relaxed and informal opportunity to ask questions, learn more, and discover whether adoption could be right for you. 

You can book an hour-long slot with an experienced and knowledgeable member of our team via our event booking page
