Diagrama FoundationBringing a child into your life through adoption is a time filled with emotion - hope, joy, and sometimes uncertainty. But what actually matters most during this time?
Our adoption team shared two key truths from their experiences with families:
“In the past year, I’ve supported four families through placements. The one thing that stands out across all of them is this: children need to feel claimed and accepted. Claimed as a full, legitimate part of the family - warts and all. Acceptance means embracing the child’s background, their birth identity, and weaving that into the fabric of your own family story.”
This kind of acceptance builds stronger, more cohesive families. Just like we welcome in-laws through marriage - with their own histories and traditions - adoption invites us to open our hearts to everything a child brings with them.
Another important factor?
“Support, support, support! When adopters feel supported - by friends, family, professionals, even neighbours - they’re much more able to support their child. No one does this alone, and no one should have to.”
Love doesn’t exist in a vacuum. A loving home is one that welcomes not just a child, but also the community of support around them.
Right now, 2940 children are waiting for a loving home like yours*. You can take the next step in your journey with Diagrama Adoption by downloading a pack or joining our next free online information session on Wednesday 12th November 2025.
