Every year, thousands of children in foster care are waiting for permanent homes. While the majority of children in foster care will eventually be reunified with their parents, many others remain in foster care. Adopting through foster care is a meaningful way to build a family while providing a child with the stability and security they deserve.
Children in foster care often build special bonds with their foster parents. If you are a foster parent and are considering adoption through the foster care system, the Martin Pringle adoption team is here to guide you through the legal process with care and experience.
What is foster care adoption?
Foster care adoption occurs when children cannot safely return to their birth families and may therefore be legally adopted by their foster care families (whether those are other relatives of the child or unrelated foster care parents). Families who choose this path often begin as foster parents and later adopt the child in their care once parental rights have been terminated.
