According to a recent report, Georgia is finding success in a program it developed that identifies permanent placements for children with foster parents who are looking to adopt them. This is great news since there are so many children who are born into families that are unable to care for them.
Georgia is making efforts to communicate to people that the foster or adoption process is not as complicated as they might think. They have been working hard to develop a program that contracts with agencies to provide a child's life history including foster placements, into a system that consolidates the time it takes for a family to adopt a child. Essentially it's simplifying the process so that these children can be placed in homes and get the unconditional love and nurturing that they deserve.
The state program merges foster and adoption programs together. For instance, if a young baby is being given up by the biological parents, the child would be placed in this program so that the child would have a higher chance of a permanent placement. For the child to fit into the program, there must be a very small chance that the biological parents or family would attempt to regain custody.
The overall goal of the program is to get these children on the path to permanent placement, rather than the foster care system. New parents going through this program must be willing to be a foster parent first to the child before the adoption can take place. It eases transition time for the family and the children have stability in their home life.
Family law encompasses many different areas and if you are looking to adopt a child, you need to speak with an experienced adoption attorney. They understand and have compassion for the issues that may arise through the adoption process. The length of an adoption process can vary according to the circumstances of the child, but can take as few as six to ten months and your attorney will be there every step of the way with you.
