California Child Adoption Laws

Before starting to search for a child to adopt or an agency to assist you, it is a good idea for you understand how the adoption laws in California may affect your decisions. Making informed decisions is the best way of increasing your chances of adopting a child. Please visit adoption law in California for more details and/or contact an adoption attorney in California.

Are Children Available for Adoption in California?

Yes, through both public and private adoption agencies. In California, and every other state, there are many children in foster care available for adoption and for these children you should contact the California foster care system (On your search engine, type in the words “foster care to adopt in California.).   However, remember that the actual number of children adopted through the California public child welfare agency is only a small portion of the total number of all California adoptions (exact numbers are not available at this time).

Remember that while you may be a resident of California, you are not limited to adopting a child from California. You can adopt a child born in California or a child born in any other U.S. state (contact us).  What is important for you to understand is that infants and children are available for adoption in California and in each of the other the 49 states.
