Adoptive Family

An adoptive family is a family formed when an individual legally becomes the parent of a child who is not biologically their own. This process, called adoption, creates a permanent legal relationship, giving the child ownership of the family’s rights and responsibilities. Adoptive families can include various arrangements, such as foster care placements later finalized through adoption or children placed for adoption from birth. The goal is to provide a loving, stable environment that supports the child's well-being, growth, and development, regardless of biological connection.
