Family needed for Joseph

Two year old Joseph is an affectionate, fun-loving boy looking for a caring adoptive family. Joseph requires a little more hands-on care than the average child and his development is uncertain. He needs a one or two-parent family who can help continue the excellent progress he has made in foster care and support him into adulthood.

if you are interested in finding out more about Joseph, or any of the other Kingston children who are currently waiting for adoptive families, call our adoption team on 020 8547 6042 or email adoption@rbk.kingston.gov.uk
