For the biological parents, there is support (both counseling and
groups) to help get through the adoption process and any negative emotions
following the adoption. The ability to choose the parents means that the birth
parents can feel more secure in their child’s future. Care and legal expenses
can be covered to help the biological parents avoid financial distress. It is a
difficult decision but there is help to get through it as well as the knowledge
that the child will receive the care that perhaps cannot be given by the birth
parents.

Benefits for Adoptive
Family
For the adoptive family, welcoming a new child into their home is
probably one of the greatest experiences they will have in life. If the
adoptive parents had the chance to get to know the biological parents before
the birth, the parents will have the added benefit of knowing exactly what kind
of care the child had. They have also had the chance to watch the child grow.

Benefits for Child
The benefits for the child can appear mixed at first but being
able to start out having a stable home is one of the best things for a child.
The love and support of the adoptive parents will be just as great as the birth
parents and the adoptive parents will be able to ensure the child receives all
necessary care particularly if the birth parents are not yet financially or
emotionally ready. The child also has a better chance of getting the education
to succeed.
