forever home
Adoption's happy ending
A forever home is a permanent adoptive placement, especially for a pet from a shelter or rescue organization: We found our dog a forever home.
The phrase emphasizes that the adoption is meant to last the animal's lifetime, not a temporary foster situation.
It extends occasionally to children in adoption contexts or even to houses: After years of renting, we finally found our forever home.
