Adoption is a wonderful option for expanding your family, but the laws governing the process are quite complex.
Working with an expert in adoption law will help ensure that your adoption proceeds smoothly.
An adoption attorney will:
PROVIDE an unbiased explanation of adoption procedures and develop a legally secure plan tailored to your needs;
EXPLAIN your rights and the adoption laws in your state or refer you to attorneys who practice in other states or internationally;
ASSESS the risk involved, including determining what costs are permissible and ensuring that birth parents’ rights are legally terminated before placement is finalized;
REVIEW and negotiate adoption agency contracts to ensure your interests are served;
CLARIFY your options for post-placement arrangements, if any, with birth parents and draft or review an agreement to ensure your interests and those of the child are serviced.
