Adoption Services

Adoption is a service for children; it is the process whereby a child becomes a member of a new family. Adoption creates a permanent, legal relationship between the adoptive parent/s and the child.

• Placing children for adoption when requested by a birth parent;
• Assessing and vetting prospective adoptive parent/s;
• Provision of information and tracing services to those who have been adopted, boarded out or placed in other care arrangements.
