with as little stress as possible. Our attorneys will review and draft adoption documents and take every legal step necessary to ensure that your rights are protected.

Our adoption lawyers can assist you with all of the following:

Step-parent adoptions

Our stepparent adoptions attorneys can work to quickly and efficiently sever the rights of a birth parent through consent, or a petition to terminate parental rights. A termination of parental rights may apply when a child has been abandoned or abused.

After the parental rights of the birth parent have been terminated, we will formally proceed in an adoption by the step-parent. When you make this transition, you want an attorney you can trust to secure this important legal decision for your family. Contact our firm for more information on the step-parent adoption process.
