What are the Three Pathways to Adoption?
Adoption is a journey! Check Here the Three Routes You Can Select! The adoption route you select depends on financial, legal, and personal factors. We discuss the three main paths to adoption in the United States.
Path 1: Foster Adoption One of the most sought after option for prospective adoptive parents. It is useful for reuniting children with their biological families and offering adoption to children who are not legally emancipated. It provides training to foster-adopt parents for parenting an adopted child.
Path 2: Domestic Infant Adoption You can adopt a newborn through an adoption support center or a private adoption lawyer. The agency finds prospective birth parents through advertising and conducts home studies. It is best to consult an adoption agency or lawyer that navigates the laws in your state.
Path 3: International Adoption The process of international adoption may vary from country to country. Partner with an accredited provider to gain the necessary guidance through the process. You can visit the country to familiarize yourself with their adoption laws.
Choose Adoption Professionals Carefully Find an adoption lawyer or professional from a state-certified agency. Find professionals who are licensed to perform international adoptions.
