Child Adoption Information

Child adoption is a legal process through which an individual or couple becomes the legal parents of a child who is not biologically theirs. This process involves selecting a child, usually through agencies or private arrangements, completing legal requirements, and obtaining court approval. Adoption can provide a permanent, loving home for children in need, including those from foster care or those given up for adoption by birth parents. It creates a new legal relationship, granting adoptive parents the same rights and responsibilities as birth parents, ensuring the child's welfare and security in their new family.
