We Can Support You Through An Adoption
If you are planning to adopt a child, our attorneys want to help you to start the next chapter and move forward with the adoption process. Depending on the circumstances, you may experience difficulties finalizing the adoption or completing the technical requirements. Our services include locating birth parents, fighting for termination of parental rights in contested adoptions and communicating with the Department of Children’s Services. In addition to assisting with domestic adoptions, including those involving stepparents, we can also represent you if you are adopting a child from outside the United States.
