Adoption Barometer Update 2026

Welcome

Thank you for clicking through to this survey.

Your responses will contribute to Adoption Barometer Update 2026 - a tighter, more focused version of the UK’s leading annual report about the impact of government policy and legislation on the lives of adoptive families and adopted people, to be published by Adoption UK this summer.


As you answer, please only focus on your experiences during 2025 unless directed otherwise by specific questions.


For best results, we recommend completing the survey on a larger screen device, such as a laptop.


Please answer for yourself. If you are an adoptive parent co-parenting with a partner, they may choose to complete the survey separately.
