History of Adoption
ADOPTION
A Special Kind of Love
Not flesh of my flesh, Nor bone of my bone, But still miraculously my own. Never forget for a single minute, You didn't grow under my heart, But it in! Adoption Creed Author Unknown

Provision for adoption appears to have been made as far back as the earliest recorded histories. The Babylonian Code of Hammurabi establishes the existence of adoption practices more than 4,000 years ago. The Bible refers to adoption as does ancient Roman Civil Law, and the early Spaniards had an adoption law. In Canada every province has legislation regarding adoption.
