Advice During the Adoption Process
Whether you are planning for a child or adult adoption, our firm will assist with the petition for adoption, as well as any other required paperwork. You do not have to be wealthy, married, or under a certain age to be considered fit for adoption, but you must pass a home study and receive the consent of any living biological parents. Since parental rights are some of the most protected legal rights in the U.S., consent from biological parents is extremely important. Obtaining consent can be one of the most complicated and emotional steps in the process.
If the biological parents dispute your petition to adopt, the case could be taken to court to decide the best interest of the child. We will help plead your case, establishing why your family is the best decision for the child. Any legal custody dispute can be a trying time for you and your family, but our firm does its best to make the process as stress-free as possible.
Grow your family and avoid potential pitfalls with an experienced attorney by your side.

A lawyer can help you avoid any legal pitfalls and point out the best way to proceed as you move forward with your plans. Our firm will advise you all through the home study, petition, and final hearing necessary for adoption.
