Adoption Tees Valley Named No.1 Regional Adoption Agency in the Country for Matching Times

Friday 9 January 2026

Adoption Tees Valley is proud to announce that we have been recognised as the top performing Regional Adoption Agency in the country for matching times. This means we are leading the way in reducing delays for children and making the adoption process quicker and smoother for families.

Why is this important for children and families?
Every day a child waits for a permanent, loving home is a day too long. Delays can have a significant impact on a child’s emotional wellbeing and development. By achieving the fastest matching times in the country, we ensure children move into safe, stable, and nurturing environments as quickly as possible. This gives them the security they need to thrive.

For prospective adopters, shorter matching times mean less uncertainty and a faster journey to becoming parents. We know how important it is for families to feel supported and confident throughout the adoption process, and our commitment to efficiency helps make that possible.

A Message from Our Head of Service
Louise Addison, Head of Service at Adoption Tees Valley, said:

Our Commitment
