Adopting a child
What is it?
When you adopt a child, you take over the care and upbringing from the biological parents. You and the child then become legally related.
To apply for adoption, you must submit a request to the court. You are required to engage the services of a lawyer.
How does it work?
If you want to adopt a child, there is a lot involved. You can read more about this on the US government website.
You can find more information about the procedure, the costs, and how long it may take on the Rechtspraak website.
What should I do?
Every adoption is different. What you need to arrange through the court, the municipality, and other organizations depends on your specific situation. The government website provides a useful overview of all the conditions.
