Adoption is one of the most precious moments for a family. Whether you are a stepparent wishing to legally adopt your stepson or stepdaughter; a relative wishing to adopt a grandchild, niece, nephew, or younger sibling; or someone wishing to adopt a child unrelated to you, we can advise you and guide you through the legal steps necessary to finalize your adoption. In addition to necessary petitions and court appearances, other steps in the adoption process include pre-adoptive and post-placement home studies, criminal background checks, termination of parental rights, and applications for new birth certificates. We will work with you to ensure that the adoption process is as smooth, efficient and cost-effective as possible for you.
