Step-parent adoption

From ensuring you meet all legal requirements and terminate the biological parent’s rights to representing you in court, our family law team will provide comprehensive support and guidance every step of the way.
Adoption by a relative

We offer support in establishing physical custody of the child for the required duration and will address any legal concerns related to pending dependency and neglect proceedings.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the adoption process typically take?
Adoption timelines vary with the type of adoption, the case's complexity, the availability of required documentation, court scheduling, and other factors. While some adoptions may be finalized relatively quickly, others may take several months or even longer. Our team is committed to working diligently to expedite the process, providing you with a clear timeline and regular updates from start to finish.
What are the eligibility criteria for adopting a child?
This depends on jurisdictional laws, the type of adoption, and the specific requirements of adoption agencies or authorities involved. These criteria often include factors such as age, marital status, financial stability, and the ability to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the child. Our experienced attorneys will carefully assess your unique situation and provide detailed information on the eligibility criteria relevant to your case.
What are the potential legal challenges we might face during the adoption process?
Some challenges could include obtaining parental consent, addressing birth parent rights, navigating adoption laws and regulations, dealing with contested adoptions, and ensuring compliance with court procedures and requirements. Rest assured, our experienced attorneys have encountered and successfully resolved a wide range of adoption-related legal challenges over the years.
Are there any age restrictions for prospective adoptive parents?
That varies, depending on the type of adoption and the adoption agency or jurisdiction involved. While some agencies may have specific age requirements, others may focus more on the prospective parent's ability to provide a stable and nurturing environment for the child. Generally, prospective adoptive parents should be at least 18 years old, but there may also be upper age limits.
What rights do birth parents have during the adoption process?
Birth parents typically have the right to provide or withhold consent to the adoption, the right to receive counseling and support services, and the right to participate in the selection of adoptive parents in some cases. Birth parents may also have the right to maintain contact with the child through open adoption arrangements, depending on the preferences of all parties involved and the laws governing adoption in the relevant jurisdiction.
