Adoption Search
Welcome to Adoption Australia. The following is a little more information on what is involved in the adoption process.
There are many children and biological parents looking for each other in Australia. There are several agencies and databases that have been set up to help people with this search. Most adopted children will, at some stage, want to know about their biological families. This is natural and to be expected. If you are considering adopting then you will need to be prepared for this.
Our service provides detailed information on the adoption process in your state, information on adopting a child from Australia, and information 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.
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 families and that different families have different requirements. We are here to assist you regardless of your situation.
