“A family for the child, not a child for the family”

This is the underlying principle of adoption.

The best interests of the child are always the primary concern of the social workers in assessing prospective adoptive parents.

Sometimes this is hard for adoptive parents to come to terms with as they believe they are the ideal family for any child; and become frustrated by the red tape of social workers, lawyers,  and general bureaucracy.

But all checks need to be made to find the most suitable home for the child to grow up strong, happy and healthy.
