Adopt Nsw
Welcome to Adoption Australia. The following is a little more information on what is involved in the adoption process.
In NSW there are several types of adoption; inter- country adoption, local adoption, adopting a child with special needs and intrafamily adoption - for those wanting to adopt from within their own family. Each type of adoption has its own process and it is important to get the right advice when deciding what type of adoption you want to go with.
We can provide advice on the adoption process in your state as well as what you may need to do to meet the eligibility criteria of your local state adoption department. We can inform you on inter-country (overseas) adoption and the eligibility criteria from other countries, as well as explaining international law and how this effects inter-country adoptions. We provide information on which countries are open to adoptions by Australian families, estimated costs and fees, and contact details for agencies, support groups and non-governmental organisations. We can also help with information about the various options for single parents or gay and lesbian couples considering adoption.
When you and your family have made the decision to adopt a child into your lives it can be difficult to know where to start as the adoption process can seem overwhelming. Adoption Australia can provide you with accurate advice and assistance on the adoption process. Our staff are able to give you with the help and assistance you need, whether you wish to adopt a child from within Australia or from overseas. Parenting an adopted child is a rewarding and life changing experience and we want to help make the process easier for you.
