Adoption

If you are reading this page, you have likely made a big decision—one that will grow your family. Congratulations! Adopting is rewarding for you and your family, but it is also a tedious and sometimes challenging process. That is where the attorneys at Southpark Family Law can help.

Our family law attorneys are knowledgeable about the adoption process and will discuss the details with you during your initial consultation. They understand that every family is unique and will apply their knowledge of the law to address your specific needs.

Upon retaining one of our attorneys, we will guide you through the process, making sure you understand what that process looks like and what the potential timeline will be from start to finish. We will be with you every step of the way, even during the uncertainty that will likely be there throughout the process. The adoption process involves two parts:

  • The new relationship with the adopting parents and
  • The severing of a relationship with the biological parents.

It can be complicated, both emotionally and legally, but our attorneys will be your guides, ensuring that you have the support you need.
