Attorneys to help you during the adoption process
“Adoptions are without a doubt my favorite kind of case to handle. It’s so rewarding to see how happy everyone is at the conclusion of the hearing.” – Andrew Koor
There are several different types of adoption, including agency adoption, interstate adoption, stepparent adoption, grandparent adoption, and independent placement adoption.
Stepparent adoption is very common and can be a joyous time for a family. When a stepparent adopts, he or she agrees to become the legal parent and become fully responsible for the child of his or her spouse. After this type of adoption, the noncustodial parent no longer has any rights or responsibilities for the child, including child support.
