You’re In Good Hands
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
In order to privately adopt a child in Alberta, you must meet the eligibility requirements which state that you must be an Albertan resident, be at least 18 years of age, and demonstrate financial and domestic stability. You should also be aware that the costs associated with private adoption are often quite high.
A legal guardian has the authority and responsibility to care for the needs of the child. It may come about by appointment from the court or a power of attorney.
Joint custody is the most common form of custody assumed by parents following a separation or divorce. Joint custody is granted when both parents are capable of making decisions in the best interest of the child and are able to communicate effectively.
In Alberta, family courts typically prefer to grant joint custody to parents. However, you may apply for sole custody if you feel the other parent is unfit to provide for the child in any way; this must be proven to the courts in order for sole custody to be granted.
