About My Adoption Family | Who We Are
My Adoption Family was launched in 2019 with the primary aim to raise awareness about the need for more adopters from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) and Muslim communities and to improve the experience and support available to these families throughout the adoption process.
My Adoption Family is a member of the National Adoption Recruitment Steering Group (NARSG) and the Adoption and Special Guardianship Leadership Board (ASGLB) Racial Disparity Group.
We hope you find this toolkit useful. On pages 12-19 you will see details of common issues that Muslim prospective adopters face.
Muslim adopters may also require guidance and reassurance as adoption often brings up specific concerns regarding lineage and naming, inheritance, Hijab, Mahram wet nursing and concerns about privacy and boundaries (see glossary on page 29 for definitions). My Adoption Family offer clear and confidential guidance around these areas to both adoptive parents and professionals. For any questions not covered in this toolkit, you can email visit our website www.myadoptionfamily.com or email imam@myfosterfamily.com for confidential advice.
