The Adoption Process | For Birth Mothers And Adoptive Parents
Some birth mothers recognize they are not in a situation to provide the extreme amount of care that a child needs. As a result, they make the selfless choice to place the baby up for adoption. If you are a young woman in this situation, our Florence adoption attorney can discuss with you how he can help you be sure that your child grows up in a wonderful home with devoted, loving adoptive parents.
Prospective parents who have decided to adopt a child are committing to the most important role they will ever accept. The adoption process that follows can be an emotional roller coaster. The Grinnell Firm, PSC, helps adoptive parents through this paperwork-intensive procedure and keeps them informed of developments at every step.
Attorney With Experience Handling Private And Stepparent Adoptions
Many times, a stepparent is interested in adopting a stepchild in order to obtain the same rights that a birth parent would have. Stepparent adoptions also serve as a key means of reinforcing the bond between the stepparent and the child. We are happy to assist with this process.
Before a stepparent adoption can occur, the natural parent’s rights must be terminated. In many cases, the natural parent has not played a role in the child’s life and agrees to the termination of parental rights. In other cases, we can take steps to have rights terminated so we can move forward with the stepparent adoption. If you are a father being asked to give up your rights unwillingly, we can discuss your father’s rights in the matter.
