Adoption is a legal process that will transfer your parenting rights and responsibilities to an adoptive family or parent.

We understand that transferring your parenting rights to another family is a difficult decision, which is why it's such good news that you will be in the drivers seat regarding who adopts your child, what type of family your baby will go to, and even whether or not you'd like to continue to be a part of the baby's life in the future.
