Adoption triad
The adoption triad refers to the three key groups involved in the adoption process: the birth (or biological) parents, the adoptive parents, and the adoptee (the child). Each party has unique needs, feelings, and roles that influence the experience. Understanding the triad helps ensure that all perspectives are respected and that the child’s well-being remains central. Effective communication and support among these groups promote healthier relationships and a more positive adoption journey for everyone involved.
