€1,000 grant for parents who adopt locally

Minister for Social Justice and Solidarity, the Family and Children’s Rights Michael Falzon revealed that a €1,000 grant will be given to parents who wish to adopt locally.

Stating in a press conference that the ministry fulfilled 90% of its budget commitments for 2021, this grant will go hand in hand other various amendments made ‘to the law to facilitate local adoptions.’

2019 saw the time limit a child had to be in foster care before adoption decreased from 10 years to 5 years.
