In Indonesia, children who are officially adopted by other families are no longer considered the biological children of their biological families.
Since 2002, Indonesia has had a law on child protection governing the adoption process of children.
Children who are officially adopted by other families have the same rights as biological children, including the right to receive the same education and medical care.
The adoption process in Indonesia usually takes a long time and complicated, because it involves various parties such as the Social Service, Courts, and Biological Families.
There are several types of adoption in Indonesia, including the adoption of a single child, adoption of children from large families, and adoption of children from outside the country.
Before being adopted, children must go through a series of health and psychological tests to ensure that they are suitable for adoption.
Families who want to adopt children must meet certain requirements, such as having a decent and financially stable house.
Children who are officially adopted by other families usually accept new family names and sometimes also given new names.
Although adoption can be a solution for couples who cannot have biological children, there are also many people who choose to adopt as a way to provide better opportunities for children in need.
Adoption can also have a positive impact on children adopted, because they can get the love and attention of their new families and the opportunity to live in a more stable and safe environment.
