註釋This report provides insights into the general community's perceptions and motivations regarding adopting children from out-of-home care. There has been a major shift in policy and legislation to decrease the number of children who remain in long-term foster care, and instead prioritising kinship care, guardianship, or open adoption when restoration is not possible. A survey was conducted with 1,000 adults in New South Wales regarding their awareness of adoption, knowledge of its processes and supports in New South Wales, what makes a suitable adoptive parent, perceptions of birth families and post-adoption contact, and whether they would consider adopting a child now or in the future. The facts about adoption processes and entitlements are also noted, after the survey findings. The findings highlight a need for targeted efforts to address misconceptions about open adoption, including the process for pursuing an adoption, the legal rights of adoptive and birth families, and the supports available.
