Types of Adoptions We Handle
As skilled family law attorneys, we enjoy helping clients with the following types of adoption:
- Stepparent adoption: Would you like to adopt your spouse's child or children? Our law firm can guide you through the process of obtaining termination of parental rights by the non-custodial or absent parent. We can file for termination of the biological parent's rights in the same document as the request for adoption. When these documents are processed and approved, the adoption is finalized.
- CPS adoption: Typically in this type of adoption, we join the process after CPS has already made the placement with the family. We believe we offer a significant benefit to clients because we are on the list approved by CPS to be paid directly. This means, as a parent-to-be, you will not have any out-of-pocket expenses. Rather, CPS will pay our law firm directly.
- Private adoption: We represent adoptive parents in private (or independent) adoptions. These are considered open adoptions because the parents-to-be know who the birth mother is. We handle termination of parental rights, file the adoption petition and finalize the adoption.
