   Adoption is a legal and permanent way of providing a new family for a child who cannot live with their birth family. Once an adoption order is granted, all legal responsibilities and rights are transferred to a child’s adoptive parents. In modern adoption, very few adopted children have been relinquished voluntarily by their birth parents.
