Adoption Solutions
Adopting a child brings numerous rights as well as responsibilities. The legal steps of an adoption must be handled carefully to ensure your rights are protected and that the child's place in your home is legally protected. Our lawyers are prepared to handle all aspects of your adoption, including establishing your rights as a parent and terminating the parental rights of the birth parents.
We represent clients in a wide range of adoptions, including:
- Stepparent adoptions: Adoptions in which the stepparent of a child obtains legal custody. Stepparent adoptions are the most common type of adoption.
- Open adoptions: Adoptions in which there is some contact between birth parents and the adoptive parents after the adoption proceedings are completed.
- Closed adoptions: Adoptions in which there is no contact between the birth parents and adoptive parents.
- International adoptions: Adoptions in which American families adopt children from other countries. These adoptions can be especially complex, because they must be in compliance with both U.S. law and the laws of the child's country of origin.
