Adoption is usually a two-step process that starts with the termination of the birth parents’ rights, followed by an adoption hearing. It is of the utmost importance that the correct procedures are followed in order to prevent a party from coming back later and reopening the case. Our attorneys take the time to walk you through the procedure from beginning to the end to help ensure a successful addition to your family. We handle private adoptions, agency adoptions, step-parent adoptions, and interstate adoptions.

Adoption creates a permanent, stable relationship between the child and adopting parent(s). It gives the child the right to inherit from adopting parent(s) and entitles the adopting parent(s) custodial rights to the child. There can be no greater gift than an adopting parent providing a child with a stable permanent home.

Adoption typically involves identifying a prospective child, completion of an adoption/custody study by a licensed child welfare agency, termination of the parental rights of the birth parent(s), and the adoption hearing. Our experienced adoption lawyers are able to walk you through the adoption process step by step to help assure a successful addition of a child into your home through adoption.
