Child Adoption Process

Child adoption is a process where an individual or family legally becomes the child's parent. It typically involves several steps: choosing an agency or process, completing paperwork, undergoing background checks and home assessments, and attending interviews. Prospective adopters must meet certain eligibility criteria and often participate in training. Once approved, they are matched with a child, and legal formalities are finalized in court. The goal is to ensure the child's welfare and create a permanent, loving family environment. The process varies by jurisdiction but generally aims to prioritize the child's best interests throughout the journey.
