All adoptions involve a triad.
This triad consists of the adoptee, the birth family and the adoptive family. The adoptee should benefit from placement in a loving family that can provide for his or her needs for a lifetime. The birth family should be secure in the knowledge that their decision not to parent this child for whatever reason will ultimately work out to the greater benefit of this child, the remaining members of the birth family and the adoptive family. The adoptive family should benefit from the formation of their family through adoption and the knowledge that the child was placed for adoption ethically to benefit the child. The vast majority of adoptions do work along these lines.
