Welcome to the family

Adoption & welcoming ceremonies

A warm, personal way to celebrate a child joining your family and to mark the promises you make to them — however your family came together.

For every kind of family

Families are made in many ways. Whether you're welcoming an adopted or fostered child, bringing two families together, or celebrating a new arrival, a welcoming ceremony marks the moment with love — and puts your child at the very centre of it.

Promises, people and belonging

Together we can include promises from parents, a role for siblings, words from grandparents, and "supporting adults" or guide-parents who pledge to be there as your child grows. It's a chance for everyone who loves them to say so, out loud.

Relaxed, joyful and entirely yours

There are no rules and no set script — just a happy gathering shaped around your family. We can hold it anywhere you like, keep it playful for little ones, and make it a memory you'll treasure as they grow up.

Let's welcome them together

Tell me about your family and the little one you're welcoming, and we'll plan something joyful.
