Welcome to St Margaret's Children and Family Care Society.  St Margaret's is a Voluntary Adoption Agency which specialises in all aspects of adoption.  If you have an interest in any aspect of adoption we hope that you will find something here for you.

If you are interested in becoming an adoptive parent, if you are adopted and wish to find out more about your early life, or if you are a birth mother with an interest in the child you relinquished in the past, please browse through our site.  Similarly if you are pregnant and you believe that adoption might be the best option for your child, please look at the section for birth mothers, and get in touch for a confidential chat.  We can be contacted on line or by telephone or by writing to us.

Please be assured that you can talk to any of our social workers in confidence, and without committment.  We look forward to hearing from you.

You may be aware, from recent media attention, of the Westminster Government's intention to implement the new Sexual Orientation Regulations.  There has been much speculation about the future of St Margaret's in the light of that Act.  I would like to reassure you that there are no plans for St Margaret's to close.  In fact, Archbishop Conti, the President of this Society has publicly expressed his support to the continued operation of St Margaret's.  He said: "The Bishops of Scotland are very aware of the challenging nature of the legislation, but are nonetheless determined that the good work being done by agencies like St Margaret's should not be lost.  Therefore I want to reassure you that St Margaret's will continue with its work, and will continue to be faithful to its mission, namely to find families for children."

St Margaret's intends to continue to operate as an adoption agency offering a quality service to prospective parents and children placed for adoption.
