Answer 10

Legal rights and responsibilities of the biological parents are transferred to the adoptive parents. Children can be put up for adoption 6 days after birth until they are 18. Types include local adoption - children from infants to 2yo, birth parents volunteer to put their child up for adoption. Permanent care – Children are taken into the care and protection of Family and Community services if they are unable to be taken care of by their parents. Out of home adoption – Parents or extended family are deemed unfit to care for their children therefore children are placed with authorised carers. Inter country adoption - Adoptions between Australia and a Country that is a member of the Hague Convention on the Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Inter-country Adoption. Intrafamily adoption – adoption of a child who lives in NSW by a stepparent or relative.
Adoption is the responsibility of FACS and other registered agencies such as Anglicare and Barnados. Indigenous children can only be placed in non-indigenous care if an appropriate placement cannot be found in the child’s extended family, their Indigenous community or indigenous care.
