Adoption Panels

Adoption panels are groups of professionals, including social workers, legal experts, and often adopted individuals or their families, who review and assess potential adoptive parents and the child's circumstances. Their role is to carefully evaluate whether the prospective parents can provide a safe, loving, and stable environment for the child. The panel's recommendation helps social services decide if adoption is the best option, ensuring that the child's needs are prioritized. Overall, they serve as a safeguard to support responsible and suitable placements for children needing families.
