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 great ways to start and grow your family. While some aspects of military life, such as deployments or relocations, can make the adoption and foster care process a little more complicated, military families can provide foster and adopted children with wonderful homes.
