Adopt Agencies
Welcome to Adoption Australia. The following is a little more information on what is involved in the adoption process.
In Australia, all adoptions are done through the public office as private adoptions are illegal. There are agencies, support groups and non-governmental organisations involved in the process, for whom we can provide contact details.
There are a number of reasons why adoption is the chosen path for some people. Infertility is a major reason, with one in six couples affected by this. Another reason couples may want to adopt is to give a child from a poverty stricken country a better life.
Adoption can be a long and complicated process so before you begin you may like advice on the adoption process in your state, adopting a child from Australia, inter-country (overseas), and details on the eligibility criteria from countries that are open to adoption by Australian families. We can also give you estimated costs and fees for the various adoption processes, information on international law and how this effects inter-country adoptions, and contact details for agencies, support groups and non-governmental organisations involved in the adoption process.
We understand that the adoption process is a special time for families and that different families have different requirements. We are here to assist you regardless of your situation.
