The Process of Becoming an Adoption Parent. An adoptive parent is someone who provides a permanent home to a child or children through a legal process. The end result is no different than giving birth to a child. Becoming an adoptive parent comes with all the joys, heartache, laughter, frustration, responsibilities and rights that a natural or biological parent-child relationship brings.
The adoptive parent is given all the rights and responsibilities that once belonged to the birth parent. Guardian is given legal responsibility for the child and assumes the rights of care, custody, and supervision of the child. Adoption is a permanent, lifelong, legal relationship. When married, either one or both spouses may be named guardian.
