What is an Adoption?
Adoption is a legal process by which an adult or
adults assume the legal responsibilities for
raising a minor by becoming the minor's parents.
Legally recognized adoptions require a court or
some other government agency to reward the adults
with permanent custody of the child to the
adoptive parents.

There are specific requirements for adoption and
they vary from one state to the next and from one
country to the next. They might be arranged
through individuals or agencies, and may involve
a single child or siblings, who may range in age
from infants to older children. Adoptive
parents are most often traditional married
couples, and they can also be single men or women
or non-traditional couples.

How an Informal Adoption Occurs?
In some cases adoptions occur outside of legal
arrangements. Such informal adoptions most
often happen when a relative or a stepparent
assumes the permanent parental responsibilities
for a child, without the courts getting involved.
And in other cases, adoptive parents might take
in a young person who is adrift in society for
reasons beyond his or her control, and raise them
as their own.
