An adoptive social worker helps both the birth family and the adoptive family with support during the transition stage. The social worker will help the birth parents by referring them to counselors and will help the adoptive family by making sure they have all the resources they need for the child.

Understanding Adoption Rights?
A married couple or an unmarried adult are generally eligible to adopt a child in the United States. Stepparents can also be granted the right to adopt a birth child or children of a spouse. Specific laws might vary slightly in each state, so a person seeking to adopt should review the law in his or her state before beginning the process. Additionally, an adoption can be handled through an adoption agency or independently without agency involvement. The desired contact between the birth parent(s) and adoptive parent(s) determines if the adoption is closed or open.In a closed adoption, most adoptive parents do not know the birth parents or where the child was born. The files in the case are physically sealed and the child will not know the identity of his or her birth parents. Open adoptions are the opposite, where the adoptive and birth parents meet and maintain some degree of contact. An open adoption gives most birth parents a voice in selecting the adoptive parents for a child.The Adoption ProcessProspective parents are required to participate in a home study process before an adoption is granted. There are three primary purposes to this process. The adoptive family receives information to educate and prepare them for the adoption. The social worker can use this time to gather specific information about the prospective parents to help in making the best match. The social worker can also determine the emotional, behavioral and financial fitness of the parents to care for a child.Some prospective parents experience anxiety during this process, fearing they will not be approved. However, agencies are not looking for perfect parents, but rather are looking for parents who are capable of accepting the realities of parenting.Once the home process is completed successfully and a child is located, the adoptive parents will petition the court for approval. This may require an adoption hearing before the adoption is finalized. The birth parents have already relinquished parental rights and duties for the child.A consent notice is sent to the birth parents, the adoption agency and the legal representative for the child prior to the hearing date. The judge will issue an order that approves and finalizes the adoption. This order legalizes the adoption, granting a new parent-child relationship between the adoptive parents and the child. An official name change for the child by the new parents can also be requested.
