Adoption & Foster Care

Military OneSource offers resources and support for all phases of the adoption and foster care processes.

Adoption and foster care can be a great way to start and grow your family. The mobile military life is not a barrier to adoption and foster care although some aspects of military life such as deployments or relocations can make the process a little more complicated. Despite the challenges, military families can provide foster and adopted children with wonderful homes.
