Understanding the Transfer Process

At Sussex Fostering, we understand that circumstances can change, leading you to consider a transfer to a new adoption agency. We are here to help make this transition as smooth and supportive as possible for both prospective adoptive parents and children.

Why Switch?

There are several reasons why you might consider transferring to a new agency, including:
- Relocation to a new area in Sussex
- Seeking specialised services or support
- Personal preference or recommendation
- Access to better training or support

How to Start the Process

Step 1: Initial Contact
Contact your current agency to inform them of your decision.
Reach out to us at Sussex Fostering for support. We'll arrange an initial discussion to understand your needs and circumstances.

Step 2: Researching your options

We will request necessary documents from your current agency. This includes your existing assessments, approvals, and any other relevant information. Confidentiality and data protection are paramount during this process.

Step 3: Assessment and Approval

Our team will review your documents and may conduct additional assessments to ensure a seamless transition. Once everything is in order, we'll guide you through the approval process with our agency.

Supporting you throughout the Process

Our dedicated team will be with you at every step, offering personalised guidance and answering any questions you may have.

Continuity of Care

We prioritise the continuity of care for children and families. Our focus is to ensure that the transfer process is as smooth and stable as possible.

Post-Transfer Support

After the transfer, we provide ongoing support and resources to help you navigate your adoption journey with us.
