Appeal For Families To Give Five Young Boys A Forever Home

As National Adoption Week (21–27 October 2025) begins, Adopt South – the Regional Adoption Agency for Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton – is appealing for families to come forward and offer five young boys a permanent, loving home.

The children – Mason, Albie, Finley-Jack, and brothers Logan and George* – are all between three and five years old.

Each has additional needs, such as developmental delays or neurodiversity, but they share one thing in common: a huge capacity for love, laughter, and joy.

“These five adorable boys are at a stage where their personalities are really shining through,” said Rachel Reynolds, Head of Adopt South.

“We’re asking people to look beyond labels and see the child – someone who simply needs a family to believe in them.”

All five children are thriving with their foster carers but are still waiting for their “forever families”.

Adopt South has produced a short film introducing the boys and hopes it will inspire prospective adopters to come forward.

Adopt South welcomes interest from single people, couples, LGBTQ+ applicants, those of faith, renters and homeowners – anyone with compassion, patience and the desire to make a difference.

The agency offers full support throughout the adoption journey, including training, workshops and lifelong advice for families.

To find out more, call 0300 3000 011, request a callback online, or visit the Adopt South website.
