Welcome to Adoption and Permanent Care services in Victoria
Children are our most precious asset. There is no more serious commitment in life than raising and nurturing children; to share their joys and sorrows, to honour their love, to pass on your experience to a new generation. These aren’t just the privileges of parenthood; they are duties and obligations.
Sometimes, for many different reasons, children need to be raised by a family other than the one they were born into. This enables them to benefit from the commitment of parenthood.
Adoption is not the only way of bringing a child into your family. Permanent care is another. Both options provide children with the care and love they need to grow and prosper.
Thank you for visiting this website. This website provides information about the local adoption and permanent care program. We hope it helps you understand a journey thousands of generous families have taken before you; one of love, joy and compassion, as well as fulfilment, satisfaction and achievement.
Please contact us for more information.
