Tusla - Ireland's Child & Family Agency

Post Adoption Services

Post adoption services aim to assist in the ongoing stability, permanency, and well-being for children who have been adopted and for adoptive families as a whole. For both children and adults these services help address the effects that separation, loss, and trauma can have on those who have been adopted. Tusla has funded Barnardos to provide a range of Post Adoption Services for children and adults.
