Overseas Adoption
Welcome to Adoption Australia. The following is a little more information on what is 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. 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. Parenting an adopted child is a rewarding and life changing experience and we want to help make the process easier for you.
If you are considering adopting a child then you need to get good advice from the start. We believe that if you have a better understanding of what is involved in the adoption process then you will be more prepared to meet the requirements.
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 also provide other information about what different options you may have, as well as information for single parents or gay and lesbian couples wanting to adopt. Along with that information, we also include 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 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.
