Domestic adoption is the process where individuals or couples adopt a child from within their own country. This type of adoption typically involves children who are in the care of the state or are voluntarily placed for adoption by their birth parents. The goal is to provide a stable and loving home for children who may not be able to live with their biological families. In domestic adoption, prospective parents usually work with adoption agencies or attorneys to navigate the legal requirements and procedures. The process includes background checks, home studies, and matching with a child. This ensures that the adoption is in the best interest of the child and that the adoptive family is prepared for the responsibilities of parenting.
