Adoption is a legal process wherein a couple or an individual assumes all the parental rights and responsibilities for a child not of their biological birth. It establishes a permanent parent-child relationship, hence giving the adopted rights just like a biological child would have. The general aim of adoption is to provide children in need with a loving family environment that is stable.
