Adopting a child in South Africa

Have you ever wondered if adoption is the option for you? Or how it works and if you would be able to be an adoptive parent yourself?

We brought in social worker and adoption specialist Eloise Loots from PROCARE to help us understand the process of adoption. 

We cover everything from who can adopt, what the screening process is like, the various types of scenarios that adoptive parents may encounter both initially and in the future, and even whether adoptive parents make better parents because of all of this!

As the great philosopher and poet Kahlil Gibran wrote:

“Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.”
