|
Home |
Adoption is a process which unites a new family with a child
where the birth family can no longer care for him or her. It is intended to
provide the child with permanence and security. In Ontario, adoptions can be arranged through Children’s Aid Societies (CASs), private adoption agencies or directly through the courts if the parent is a relative or stepparent. The Huron-Perth CAS is responsible for adoptions locally. Benefits of Adoption for Children and FamiliesTo experience healthy development, and create a sense of their own self-worth, children need to have roots and feel they belong to a family that cares for them. Unfortunately, some parents cannot provide their children with adequate care because of conflict or illness in the family. Some parents believe they cannot provide the kind of upbringing they want for their children. They may chose to make an adoption plan for their child. Individuals and couples who cannot have children of their own often want to adopt children. Parents who already have children may want to adopt to enlarge their families. |
