This document contains the Procedures and Practice Guidelines for Foster Care and Adoption in Lesotho. It is complementary to the country’s Foster Care and Adoption Policy, a framework meant to facilitate the smooth and effective implementation of Part VIII of the 2011 Children’s Protection and Welfare Act bearing the title ”Fosterage and Adoption”. These Procedures and Practice Guidelines are intended to create a common platform and also to ensure the highest ethical standards are practised in delivering these two forms of alternative care.
