There are so many decisions to make once you have decided to adopt. As private adoption attorneys, we are able to give our clients more personalized attention and greater control over the process than they will find at an adoption agency. If you are interested in adopting a newborn baby you will have a more active role in finding the birth parents using your own attorney, than with an agency.  We believe you and your birth parents should select one another and not leave your family’s fate to a third party to make a match for you. Private, also called independent, adoption is more pro-active, leads to a shorter waiting period, and is definitely less expensive.   

As your adoption attorneys we will help you become court certified as an adoptive parent. We will assist you in your advertising and networking efforts so that an expectant mother can find and contact you. We will obtain all of the medical history and pre-natal records available and consult with the expectant mother’s attorney over financial aid. We will help you formulate a plan as to whether you choose to share identifying information and have future contact with your baby’s birth parents, or decide to maintain partial or complete privacy in your adoption. These decisions should always be yours to make. We will prepare and review with you all of the required documents to be submitted to the Family Court for finalization of your baby’s adoption.  Count on us to be available to you, and together, we will make this journey a joyful one!
