Adopting Children
Welcome to Adoption Australia. The following is a little more information on what is involved in the adoption process.
The decision to adopt a child is never easy to make. Having detailed information on what is involved can make the decision, and the process, easier for you. Children have different needs to babies and therefor there can be a different set of criteria for you to meet. This criteria also depends on whether you wish to adopt locally or from another country.
We can provide detailed information on the adoption process in your state and within Australia. Inter-country (overseas) adoption is also something we can provide more information about, as well as the eligibility criteria from countries that are open to adoption by Australian families. Estimated costs and fees for the various adoption processes are provided, as well as information on international law and how this effects inter-country adoptions. Another way we can help is by detaling a list of contact details for agencies, support groups and non-governmental organisations involved in the adoption process.
We can assist you with this process by providing you with up to date information in an easy to read format and ongoing assistance to make sure you are fully informed. We understand that the adoption process is a special time for many families and that is why we want to offer our full support. We feel that the information that we can provide will greatly assist you through the adoption process.
