Common Types of Adoptions

When you begin to think about the adoption process, you may think about the most common or "traditional" type of adoption. This is typically when a couple goes to an adoption agency and adopts a child who does not have parents. While this is a valid form of adoption, there are other forms of adoption which are varied to fit different situations and families. We can work with you to find which type of adoption meets your family's needs and help you understand what to expect.

We handle all types of adoptions, including:

Foster adoption
Infant adoption
International adoption
Adoption after divorce or step-child adoption

What Is the Role of an Adoption Attorney?
