If you’re thinking about placing your baby for adoption in Zambia, it’s crucial to understand how the process works and what steps you’ll need to take.

Adoption can provide your child with a stable future. Here’s a guide to help you navigate the adoption process in Zambia.

Understanding How Adoption Works in Zambia

Adoption in Zambia is legally regulated to protect the child’s best interests. The process is designed to be thorough, aiming to place the child in a safe and loving home.

Steps in the Adoption Process

1. Counseling and Decision-Making: The first step is to seek counseling. While we don’t offer adoption services, we can discuss this option and help you understand the emotional and logistical implications.
2. Legal Process: In Zambia, there are no private adoptions. Instead, the government oversees the adoption process. If you decide that adoption is right for you, we can connect you to the appropriate legal channels and help ensure your rights and goals are honored.

Is Adoption Right for Me?

Choosing adoption is a deeply personal decision. It can be a loving option if you feel you’re not in a position to provide the care and support your child needs at this time. By placing your baby for adoption, you’re giving them the opportunity to grow up in a stable, supportive environment.

Asking yourself the following questions can help you decide if adoption is the right choice for you:

• How might I feel if I choose adoption?
• What worries me most when it comes to adoption?
• What do I still want to know about the adoption process?
