Adoption is defined as a socio-legal process of providing a permanent family to a child whose parents have voluntarily or involuntarily relinquished parental authority over the child.

There are two types of adoption:

Agency adoptions - are those in which a licensed adoption agency finds and develops adoptive families for children who are voluntarily or involuntarily committed. The adoptive families go through the process from application to finalization of the child’s adoption under the auspices of the DSWD a licensed child-placing agency. The legal rights of the child, the parents who gave birth to the child and the parents who will adopt the child, are all equally protected.

Family or relative adoptions - are those where the biological parents make a direct placement of the child to a relative or a member of their extended family with whom they relinquish their child.

Childless couples or people ready to receive new family members from Mimaropa are encouraged to visit the regional office (or call 02-526-6077)  for details of agency adoptions.

Also highlighting the Caravan is the launching of the Sepilyo Mo, Sagot Ko para sa Ngiting
