Adoption

What Is Adoption?

Adoption is a legal process that creates a new, permanent parent-child relationship where one didn't exist before. The adoption proceedings take place in court before a Judge.

Adoption bestows on the adoptive parent(s) all the rights and responsibilities of a legal parent, and gives the child being adopted all the social, emotional, and legal rights and responsibilities of a family member.

No One Will Remember

A hundred years from now,
no one will remember the size of your bank account,
the car you drove or the square footage of your house.
The world might differ greatly however,
based on your impact in the life of a small child.
