Adoption Services
Adoptions in NSW
We are an accredited adoption service provider in NSW, supporting foster carers to provide long-term care for children who are not able to live with their birth families and for some of these children, adoption by a carer may be an option.
As an accredited adoptions agency, we can provide dual authorisation where foster carers can be assessed, trained and authorised at the same time to become both foster carers and adoptive parents.
Foster care to adoption
If you are fostering or caring for a child or young person, adoption could be the next positive step in their journey towards a brighter future.
Family Spirit acknowledges that within the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities adoption is not considered suitable. However, the Adoption Act 2000 allows for the Adoption of Aboriginal or Torres Straight Islander Children and Young people where it has been proven to be in their best interest. Family Spirit is committed to adhering to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child and Young Person Placement Principles and the identification and preservation of a child’s name, identity, language and cultural ties when exploring the suitability of adoption. Family Spirit also acknowledges the importance and significance of cultural consultation and collaboration with the child or young person, family and community throughout this process.
