Next Step are here to support and guide birth families when they need it

Our mission

We’re dedicated to helping birth families whose children have been adopted, to understand why this happened and to help them build a more positive future for themselves.

We are a highly qualified team that are passionate about supporting the people who need it most. We make it our duty to reach out to provide an independent, confidential and non-judgmental service to birth families.

We offer time and a safe space to talk about the situation, help them understand what adoption might mean for the adults as well as the child, and support them through the process. We can even attend meetings, not to get involved but to be there to offer support.

Our promise to you

We promise to stick with people when others give up and be a service they can rely on.

Everyone’s situation is different so they each need a unique response – our starting point needs to be where they’re at and what they are identifying as the issue.

Our staff

At the core of Next Step is a team of exceptional staff that work hard to help birth families in need of support. Our staff are highly trained, with years of experience. For us going to work isn’t just a job, we know what we do really makes a difference to peoples lives.
