Adoption Order
An adoption order is a legal decision made by a court that permanently transfers parental rights and responsibilities from the birth parents to the adoptive parents. It creates a legal parent-child relationship, giving the adoptive parents the same rights, duties, and responsibilities as biological parents. Once granted, the birth parents usually lose all legal rights and obligations related to the child. Adoption orders formalize the child's new family situation, ensuring stability, legal recognition, and important rights for the adoptive family.
