Service Description: The Isle of Wight Adoption Service provides a service for those who live on the Isle of Wight for whom adoption has been or will be part of their life. The service is always looking for adults to provide an adoptive home for children who cannot live with their birth families. Adoption may involve single children or sibling groups. Ages may range from birth to adolescence. Some children will have special needs. If you are adopted or are a birth parent, we can also offer you a range of services.
