Adoptive Parent

An adoptive parent is an individual or couple who legally takes on the parental rights and responsibilities for a child who is not biologically theirs. This process involves a legal procedure, often referred to as adoption, which establishes a permanent family relationship. Adoptive parents provide a nurturing environment, support, and care for the child, just as a biological parent would. Adoption can occur through various means, such as private adoptions, foster care systems, or international processes, and is based on the commitment to raise and love the child as part of their family.
