Common forms of Adoption

Adoption is the legal process within the realm of family law in which approved individuals who are not recognized as the birthparents of a child are permitted to assume guardianship of a child. In addition, adoption can be via a step parent adoption, in which an individual who marries one of the biological parents seeks to adopt the child.

While the adoption process is lengthy, it is not impossible. However, due to the fact that the wellbeing of a child is a primary concern of adoption agencies and asocial legal authorities, the adoption process will typically focus on the investigation and analysis of lives and details, with regard to any or all prospective parents interested in adoption.

Other forms of Adoption include: Single parent adoption, International Adoptions
