- What is Adoption?
-
Adoption is meant to establish a legally recognized lifelong relationship between a parent and a child who are not related biologically.
- What are the different types of Adoptions?
There are a number of different types of adoptions including international adoption, registering a foreign adoption, step-child adoption, closed adoption, and arranging other types. In each case, appropriate documents and/or pleadings need to be filed with the court to insure proper and permanent placement of the child.
- Whose consent is needed for adoption to occur?
-
Generally, the birth parents must consent to an adoption in order for it to be legal. At times a legal guardian or an appropriate Government Agency may need to give consent.
- What is an Open Adoption?
-
An Open Adoption means the birth parents will be the ones who participate in the choice of the adopting parents for the child. This is very different from a traditional adoption where someone else determines who would raise the child. In an Open Adoption the adopting parents are identified to the birth parents.
