Children enter the foster care system when parents have been suspected of abusing, abandoning, or neglecting their children. In this sad situation, a loving family can truly make a difference in a child’s life by becoming a foster parent or an adoptive parent. As a foster parent, you can help keep a child safe and secure while the child’s parents focus on overcoming the obstacles and learning the skills they need to safely reunite with their child. If the child’s parents do not meet the requirements to safely reunite with their child, then the Florida Department of Children and Families (“DCF”) will seek out a permanent placement for the child. As an adoptive parent, you can provide a child whose parents cannot care for him or her with a permanent, stable, loving adoptive home. Although children of all ages can be available for adoption through the state, this is a unique opportunity to expand your family by adopting a child who is older, has special needs, or is part of a sibling group. There are many benefits to adopting through the state, such as free college tuition for the child. Moreover, you can choose Glass Law Office to be your adoption attorney, and the state will pay our legal fees.
