Support for Your Decision

Before embarking on the long journey of adoption, there are many things to remember. Adoptions can be by agreement, and in some instances, by court order. Parents can give up their status and rights voluntarily or involuntarily.

Once the legal parents have relinquished their rights, their child can be adopted by a new family legally. Staffed by experienced adoption attorneys with extensive knowledge of the process and adoption requirements, our legal team will stand by you throughout the process. Together, we work to help you find a child that will complete your family.
