Adoption Attorney for Every Type of Adoption
You and your spouse are very excited bring home your newest family member - and adopted boy or girl. Unfortunately, adoptions and adoption law matters are rather complicated. Understanding the legal jargon, completing the sometimes-confusing paperwork, and more leaves many soon-to-be parents overwhelmed and exhausted.
Having the right adoption attorney on your side makes all of the difference in the adoption process. We are experienced in petitioning the court, conveying your interests to the other party, and even fighting contested termination of parental rights. Every country, state, and private firm has its own specific requirements concerning the adoption of a child. We are experienced at handling all of the following cases:
Uncontested Termination of Parental Rights
There are many cases in which parents give up their parental rights freely. These cases are referred to as "uncontested termination of parental rights."
Private Adoption
Many adoptive parents work with an adoption agency. This isn't the case during a private or independent option. Allow our adoption attorney to step in and guide you through the process.

Identified Adoption
As with all adoption proceedings, identified adoptions are complicated. During the process, the birth mother and adoptive parents find each other, and request that we take over the adoption process. This spares the adoptive parents from being put on a very long waiting list.
Interstate Adoption
To put it simply, interstate adoptions are governed by the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC). Like the name suggests, these are the adoptions when the mother and child reside in a different state than the adoptive parents.

Stepparent Adoption
You've recently married, and your new spouse wants to adopt the child you had with a previous partner. While stepparent adoptions are less cumbersome, they have their complications. Our adoption lawyer will make matters easy.
Grandparent Adoption
Grandparents often adopt their grandchildren when the children's birth parents become deceased or incapacitated. Other reasons for grandparent adoptions include divorce and child neglect.
Other Family Member Adoption
When children cannot remain in the home of their natural parents or cannot be reunited with their parents, the courts often seek a kinship/relative adoption.
