Adoption Options
Adoption options refer to the different ways families can legally assume parental rights and responsibilities for a child. This includes domestic adoption (within the same country), which may involve placing a child with relatives or non-relatives; international adoption, where a child is adopted from another country; and foster care adoption, where children in foster care are adopted by their caregivers or others. Each option involves legal procedures, assessments, and support to ensure the child's needs are met. Families choose an option based on their preferences, circumstances, and the child's best interest.
