An Agreement Letter for Adoption is a formal document that outlines the terms, conditions, and understanding between the parties involved in an adoption process. It is typically used in the context of private adoptions, agency-facilitated adoptions, or for guardianship agreements, rather than replacing a legal adoption decree issued by a court.
This letter serves as an agreement between the biological parents, legal guardians, or adoption agency (the "placing party") and the adoptive parents (the "receiving party") regarding the adoption of a child or dependent.
