Adoption is a legal and an emotional process in which a parent and child relationship is created between an adult (the adoptive parent) and a child. The legal authority to grant petitions for adoption rests with the Logan County Probate Court. What is Children's Services Role in Adoption? The primary responsibility of Logan County Children's Services is to find the most appropriate parents for every child who is legally free for adoption. Every child has a right to a permanent, loving environment with parents who provide good physical care, emotional security, medical care, an education, and protection of the child's rights. This separation of a child from their biological family and subsequent placement for adoption requires utmost care and in-depth study. Prior to a person or a couple applying to adopt a child, they must complete a series of training classes which will provide information on the adoption process and provide insight on issues related to adoption. One of the most important traits for a prospective adoptive parent is to have the ability to accept the child as they are and as they will be. |
