Experience in Representing Adoption Matters
At the law office of Nancy B. Morris, I want my adoption clients to feel assured in knowing that the proper adoption laws and procedures are being followed. I understand that individuals or couples naturally feel concerned or anxious during the adoption process. Having the right attorney with the right experience makes all the difference. As an experienced family law attorney, I will guide you through the details of the adoption process so that you can concentrate on the new child joining your family.
Providing Personal Care in Adoption Cases
In adopting a child, you are making a new addition to your family, whether as a single parent, stepparent, grandparent or married/unmarried couple. I take the time to explain the adoption procedure with the sensitivity and support that every family deserves.
The ultimate goal is the finalizing of the adoption. For most adoptions there is a six-month waiting period before an adoption is finalized. As an adoption attorney, I provide the legal expertise and support to represent you in what is a time-consuming and emotional process. I assist with adoptions by preparing and filing the necessary documents, and accompanying the adoptive parent(s) to the adoption proceeding at court, as well as arranging precertification of the adoptive home and relinquishment of the biological parents' parental rights where appropriate. I have represented adopting clients in many types of adoptions, including:
- Open/closed adoptions
- Stepparent adoptions
- Grandparent/relative adoptions
- International adoptions
