Every child has the right, will and desire to be happy, and an adult is here to enable him that right and help him from an early age. In this paper, we will explain terms and concepts of adoption and foster care. We will mention the differences and similarities, their legal provisions, the beginning of the proceedings and the positive and negative outcomes. Every child has the right to grow up in a community, not necessarily with a biological family, and it is up to us to provide the child’s conditions and opportunities to enjoy their own rights. Later in the paper, we will mention the reasons of child’ s separation from the biological parents in the way of their adaptation in the new family, community and in adjustment in institutions of education and care. The purpose of this paper is to get acquainted with the concepts of adoption, foster care, in general children rights to grow up in a community (family) and understand these concepts in a positive context, as a way to accept the differences of society and different ways of family realization. Getting to know and understand adoption and foster care procedures reduces the percentage of discrimination against non-traditional families and works to improve the understanding and acceptance of differences between people.
