Key considerations between Foster Care and Adoption in VA and how to choose
In Virginia, foster care is a temporary arrangement where the state remains the child’s legal guardian and the goal is reunification with biological family. Adoption is a permanent, legal process granting full parental rights and responsibilities to adoptive parents. Foster care offers financial support and training, while adoption provides lifelong commitment, stability, and long-term post-adoption services.
