A process built around the child

Singapore’s adoption process is designed to ensure any adoption genuinely serves the child’s welfare, involving consent requirements, and in many cases, a home study report. Eunice helps families understand what’s required at each stage, so a meaningful step for the family isn’t bogged down by unfamiliar procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do both biological parents need to consent to an adoption?

Generally, yes — consent is required from the child’s biological parents or legal guardian, though the court has discretion to dispense with consent in certain circumstances, such as where a parent cannot be located.

How long does the adoption process take?

Timelines vary depending on the type of adoption and whether a home study report is required, but families should expect the process to take several months from application to final order.
