Adoption Process

The adoption process involves several key steps to legally and emotionally unite a child with new parents. It typically begins with prospective parents choosing the type of adoption (domestic, international, or foster care). They then undergo a home study, which assesses their suitability to adopt. Once approved, families wait to be matched with a child. After finding a match, legal proceedings follow, including court approval. Post-adoption support and integration into the family are crucial for the child's well-being. Ultimately, adoption creates a permanent parent-child relationship recognized by law, providing the child with a loving, stable home.
