Coram IAC's Advice Line is open to anyone who lives in one of our partner Local Authorities. Find out here if your home Local Authority has a partnership with Coram IAC. If you live in a small district council, your county council area may have the partnership. If they do not have a partnership, please approach their Adoption Duty team for assistance.
The service is also open to British nationals living overseas who are exploring intercountry adoption.
Our Advice Line is run by qualified Social Workers with extensive experience of intercountry adoption. Anyone contacting us can raise questions, concerns and anxieties in confidence.
The service offers the opportunity to explore your own individual situation. Please note we only offer an email or telephone service and not face to face meetings. We are unable to give legal advice but can recommend lawyers with expertise in the field of adoption.
The Advice Line service operates Monday to Thursday. If you are contacting us for the first time, please complete the online enquiry form.
Our email address is info@coramiac.org.uk and the Advice Line number is 020 8447 4753 - please note this is an answerphone only service. In your email or phone message, please include your query and the name of the Local Authority you live in.
