It is half the size of the standard beer keg and equivalent to a quarter of a barrel. The term pony refers to its smaller size â compare pony glass (quarter-pint) and pony bottle.
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.
Adoption is a service that provides a family for a child who is unable, for a range of reasons, to live with their birth parents. It is a permanent legal arrangement (finalised by an Adoption Order from the Family Court of Western Australia, or an overseas Order recognised by the Family Court) that cuts a childâs legal ties with their birth family.
