Adoptive Parent
An adoptive parent is an individual or couple who legally takes on the responsibility of raising a child who is not biologically theirs. This process, known as adoption, allows the child to become a permanent member of the family, providing them with a stable and loving home. Adoptive parents can come from various backgrounds and may adopt children of different ages, races, and needs.
Adoptive parents often go through a legal process that includes background checks, home studies, and sometimes training to prepare for the challenges of parenting an adopted child. The relationship between an adoptive parent and their child can be just as strong and meaningful as that of biological parents, fostering love and support throughout their lives.
