HOW TO LEGALLY ADOPT A CHILD IN NIGERIA

Child adoption is the permanent legal transfer of parental rights and responsibilities from one a person or couple (birth parents) to another person or couple (adoptive parents).

Child adoption in Nigeria is a legal process where a person or couple assumes parental rights & duties for a child, permanently transferring care & custody from the birth parents or guardians.

This process creates a new, lifelong relationship between the child and adoptive parents.

It involves legal documentation and transfer of parental rights as birth parents relinquish their parental rights, adoptive parents assume full parental responsibilities and the adopted child becomes a full member of the adoptive family.

Adoption Process in Nigeria:
1. Application: Submit application to the relevant State Govt Ministry.
2. Home Study: Assessment of prospective adoptive parents’ suitability.
3. Matching: Identification of suitable child if you have no child of choice or interest.
4. Placement: Temporary care before adoption
5. Court Proceedings. Legal adoption finalization.

Note that there are legal requirements a person or couple seeking to adopt a child must meet, such as right age, good physical and mental health, stable income, background check and security clearance.

Adopting a child is best handled with the help of a seasoned and experienced Lawyer/Attorney.
