Adoption
Adoption is a legal process that happens to change a child’s parents in the eyes of the law. When a child is put forward for adoption it means that Bromley is looking for a new parent(s) to take care of them. Before anyone can adopt a child, they have to go through lots of tests and interviews and only a court can decide whether they become new parents to a child. If the adoption is agreed then they can make all the decisions on behalf of their new son or daughter.
