Adoption is a deeply emotional experience that has long lasting effects on the parents giving up their children up for adoption, the children being adopted, and the parents adopting the child. The adoption process shall affect all parties involved personally, psychologically, and economically. As adoption attorneys we must ensure that the adoption process is performed flawlessly and that all parties involved are fully informed during all steps of the proceeding.
The Firm ensures that all of our lawyers and staff handling your case are fully informed of the adoption laws and that they are attentive to any signs or warning signals that would cause any harm to any party involved in the process, especially the children.
Our adoption lawyers have been instructed to be sensitive to all personal and family issues that may arise during the adoption process. Should an issue arise during your adoptive proceeding, that may affect the child or the adoptive parent(s), our attorneys shall stay the adoptive proceeding and allow the prospective adoptive parent(s) to seek counseling from licensed professionals.
In Florida, the adoption proceeding is normally a two-step process. The first step is the termination of the parental rights of the birth parents. And, the second step is the adoption of the child by the adoptive parents. The first part terminates the any right that the birth parent may have with the child and the second part establishes the rights between the adoptive parent(s) and the child.Our Goal is to help society help those who are in most need, the children, the adoptive parents whom cannot have children, or the adoptive parents whom have the wherewithal to help children in distress.
