Adoption

Adoption involves the termination or relinquishment of parental rights of natural or biological parents and grants those rights to an adoptive parent or parents. By adopting a child, the adoptive parents assume all the rights and responsibilities they would have had if the child had been born to them. The adoption process varies based on factors such as the child’s age, whether the biological parents are willing to relinquish their rights or if it will be necessary to have a court terminate their rights, and whether the child is placed with an agency that handles adoption, a stranger, or a relative.
