Anyone age 18 or older can apply to adopt in Virginia. Parents may be single, married, divorced or widowed. What matters most is your ability to provide a safe, stable and loving home. No one is denied adoption because of culture, religion, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or marital status.
Children in foster care come from diverse families and backgrounds. They range from infants to teens and often have experienced trauma and loss. What they need most are patient, supportive parents who can help them heal and thrive.
Most adoptions in Virginia happen through foster care. Foster or የሀብት ወላጆች አንድ ልጅ ወደ ቤት መመለስ ካልቻለ ብዙውን ጊዜ አሳዳጊ ወላጆች ይሆናሉ። እንደ እውነቱ ከሆነ፣ ከ 75% በላይ የሚሆኑት የቨርጂኒያ አሳዳጊ ወላጆች በእንክብካቤያቸው ውስጥ ያሉትን ልጆች ይወልዳሉ።
These are handled directly through the court system with the help of an attorney. They are called “non-agency adoptions.”
Some past offenses may disqualify applicants. Virginia law lists “barrier crimes” such as violent offenses, sexual offenses, crimes against children or serious drug crimes. These laws protect children’s safety.
