France

The French view adoption as a gift for both families involved. Generally, the adopters need to be 15 years older than the child, and an ensurance of intentions is used to show that the new parents are wholeheartedly interested in the welfare of the child. As such, the relationship is formalized by issue of their regional court.

Interestingly enough, there are two types of adoption in France:

• Simple adoptions create a new family dynamic for the child by introducing adoptive parents while keeping the biological parents in the mix. The two relationships co-exist with one another.
• Full adoptions serve to permanently cut ties with the biological family, where the adoptive parents come in as a legal replacement.

The Adoption Process

Adults who meet the criteria must first obtain permission from the Department of Social Welfare for Children (ASE). Whoever the president of the General Council is within their department must sign off on the approval. Once this is done, the adoptive parents are then required to submit an application for adoption through their local court. International adoptions can are allowed, but citizens must abide by strict guidelines to ensure a legal outcome in both their country and the child’s place of origin.

Canada

Our neighbors to the north take an open and welcoming approach to modern adoption. Similar to our state guidelines, the rules and regulations in Canada vary from province to province (or territory). Across the board, though, Canadians take a very welcoming stance for anyone looking to adopt. Regardless of age, race, relationship status, or sexual orientation, all are allowed to adopt. Adoption entities in Canada are simply looking for strong individuals or couples whose hearts are open to the joys of adoption.

Canadians have three choices when it comes to adoption that are very close to our system:

• Domestic foster care is an approach that allows qualified individuals to adopt a child from an individual who was tasked with caring for the minor under the government’s ruling and responsibility.
• Private adoption utilizes a lawyer or legal representative to help in organizing the process in a closed manner. Very close to our approach here at A is 4 Adoption, this process typically involves adopting a baby.
• International adoption is an option, as always, that falls under strict regulations.

The United Kingdom

Across the pond, those in the UK follow an open approach to try and help as many children in need as possible. Individuals and couples who decide to adopt can go through their own authorities for finding a child or they can go through a voluntary program that specializes in the matter. Your local authorities will suggest going elsewhere to find a child, as they want to minimize the chances of anyone involved bumping into the biological parents and causing undue stress.

The research that goes into prospective parents in the UK is interesting. The adoption process will involve a thorough investigation into your personal life, finances, and more. For some unfortunate individuals, the interviews will include your ex-spouses and children. If a relationship ended on bad terms, the possibility exists that a former partner will give a critical review of your character. Fortunately, the social workers here are highly trained and experienced in such situations, and will often be able to get to the truth of the interview before too long.

The adoption process varies greatly by country, but one universal theme builds on the focus that provides a wonderful life for the child at the center of it all. Next time, we’ll look deeper into the UK’s adoption regulations, as well as those from other advanced countries. A is 4 Adoption is here to replace your choice of adoption agency in California. Our domestic adoption process focuses on providing the support and guidance needed during this intense experience.
