Adoption (easy read)

Use this webpage if you live in NSW. This webpage explains what adoption means when a child is in out-of-home care.

It describes how a child can become part of a new family and what this means for parents. The page explains why Community Services may support adoption, what an Adoption Plan is, and how parents can take part in meetings and share their views.

It also links to the fact sheet What is foster care? for more information about out-of-home care.
