International Adoption refers to the process by which a person or family from one country adopts a child who is resident in another country. This can involve going through an agency, attorney or directly contacting the government or other authorized entity responsible for managing international adoptions in the country where the child resides. The goal of this process is to provide a permanent home and family for children who are not able to remain with their biological families due to various reasons such as poverty, illness, death or neglect. International Adoption can be complex and may involve multiple steps including background checks, legal paperwork, travel and more. It is an important option for providing loving homes to vulnerable children around the world.
