What is Adoption?
If the child’s birth parents are unable to provide a safe and permanent home for the child, for whatever reasons, then adoption is a possible outcome. Some children may have experienced abuse, neglect and uncertainty in their lives.
Adoption is a lifetime commitment to parenting a child. You must be completely sure that adoption is what you really want for you and your family.
Many people find adoption a fulfilling experience. The rewards of becoming a parent and knowing that you have given a child the opportunity of being part of a loving, secure and caring family, are among the best life can offer!
What is the difference between fostering and adoption?
Adoption
Adoption is a legal process by which a child becomes a full member of a new family, with the adoptive parents assuming all parental responsibilities.
Fostering
Fostering is a temporary arrangement where a child lives with a family until circumstances enable the child to return to their own family, to live independently, or placed for special guardianship or adoption.
