The process of adopting a child may seem daunting to many. Fortunately, family lawyers can be of great assistance throughout this process, guiding families from the beginning to the moment when they get to bring their child home. For those considering adoption in Georgia, the foster care system is one option available to these families.
One family chose to become foster parents after their three biological children had grown up and moved out. It was during this time that they received a baby whose mother was unable to care for her. After the parental rights were terminated, it took a few months for the couple to decide that they wanted to take the steps to adopt this precious little girl. Since then, they have enjoyed every moment of being her parents.
The couple continues serving as foster parents to those children without a home to call their own. Their adopted daughter loves being a part of this and having playmates around. Like many children in the foster care system, this girl loves being a part of her adoptive family and feeling the love and care that fills their home.
There are many children around the world in need of families to call their own. Georgia couples can choose to adopt children of all ages through the foster care system. Family law professionals can provide guidance to these families as they investigate the process and what it entails. These lawyers can help ease the stress and answer the questions that typically arise as they work through an adoption proceeding.
