Choosing
Fostering or Adoption
Congratulations!
You’ve decided adoption is right for you and you’re ready to take the next steps on the pathway, but where do you start?
At A Modern Family we understand just how confusing and sometimes paralysing this next step can be, whether it be welcoming a child into your family through the foster system, domestic adoption or through international adoption.
A Modern Family Founder Dr Kate Heard has personal experience in travelling these pathways, adopting both a toddler through the domestic foster system and an older child through international adoption, as well as being an emergency foster caregiver.
Professionally, Kate has worked with many birth and prospective parents navigating infant adoption.
Kate also understands the joy and challenges of both open and closed adoption, and the responsibilities that come with parenting a child from a different culture than your own.
