PACT is pleased to join people across the country in marking National Adoption Week between 19th and 25th October 2026.
Organised by You Can Adopt, National Adoption Week is an annual awareness campaign that celebrates adoptive families and encourages more people to consider adoption.
This year, we’re asking ‘what will you do today?’, highlighting the everyday moments and decisions that can change lives and help adoptive families thrive.
Across our social media channels, we are exploring the small actions that can make a big difference, from taking the first step towards adoption by downloading our adoption guide or attending an information event, to learning more about the children waiting for loving, permanent homes.
As PACT’s dedicated placements team explains, “Every day we help turn uncertainty into connection and waiting into belonging”. Behind the scenes, our team works every day to understand the needs of children and families, helping to build meaningful connections.
We will also reflect on the life-long support offered to our PACT adoptive parents every day, enabling their families to grow and thrive together.
Lorna Hunt, Adoption Service Director at PACT said:
“National Adoption Week is an opportunity to celebrate the incredible impact adoption has on children and families, while encouraging more people to explore whether it could be right for them.
“This year’s theme, ‘What will you do today?’, reminds us that life-changing journeys often begin with a single step.
“At PACT, we see every day how adoption can help children experience the security, stability and sense of belonging they deserve. We also know that adoption is a lifelong journey, which is why we are committed to providing support every step of the way.
“For anyone who has ever thought about adoption, today could be the day you make that first enquiry, download an information guide or attend an adoption event. One small action today could make a lasting difference to a child’s future.”
To follow our National Adoption Week campaign, be sure to check our social media channels throughout the week. Could today be the day you take your first step towards adoption? You can download our free guide and discover what’s possible here.
