Adoption Agencies
Welcome to Adoption Australia. The following is a little more information on what is involved in the adoption process.
Adoption in Australia is not like how it is displayed on television and movies. There are no true adoption agencies as all adoptions go through the government departments or approved centres. There are a number of agencies and organisations that can assist you with this process.
Parenting an adopted child is a rewarding and life changing experience, and if you are thinking of adopting in Australia then we can provide information on adopting a child from Australia, and on inter-country adoption. We also share with you our recommendations on what you may need to do to meet the eligibility criteria of your local state adoption department and details on the eligibility criteria from countries that are open to adoption by Australian families. We give you estimated costs and fees for the various adoption processes as well as information on international law and how this affects inter-country adoptions, and recommendations to ensure everything you do is above board and meets international law. We provide you with information regarding alternative options, as well as details on single parent and gay or lesbian household adoptions. Along with that information, we also include contact details for agencies, support groups and non-governmental organisations involved in the adoption process.
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 provide you with the help and assistance you need, whether you wish to adopt a child from within Australia or from overseas.
