Welcome to Be My Parent
We are a family-finding service for children in the UK who need an adoptive or permanent foster family. Be My Parent is run by the British Association for Adoption & Fostering (BAAF), and has a website and monthly newspaper with feature articles.
To use our website to search for children needing adopting or fostering, and to make enquiries, families must subscribe first. Agencies wanting to use the service need to contact us to get set up.
Agencies can also use the online system to refer children to the website and/or the newspaper.
We are currently in the process of updating our information due to recent changes in legislation in Scotland. If you have a specific query in the meantime, please contact BAAF Scotland.
