So who are we? We're a forward thinking regional adoption agency (RAA) made up of the adoption teams from 6 local authorities (Leicester, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, North Lincolnshire and Rutland).

Quite simply, the child and the adopter is at the heart of everything we do and our conscientious team are very proud of the families that we have created and supported over the years.

I want to praise the social workers directly to you, they are truly an asset to the county and the wider profession! Their professionalism, compassion, level-headed nature and ‘all out’ commitment to the children within your team's care and also the adopters is phenomenal.
