Building NY Families
We proudly provide legal assistance, in English and Spanish, in foster adoptions and private domestic adoptions. We support family building through second parent, step-parent, and adult adoptions as well as parentage orders. For more than a dozen years, we have represented hundreds of clients including birth parents, married and unmarried couples, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transitioning couples and single men and women planning to adopt. We are happy to work with you in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, New York, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Orange, Nassau and Suffolk counties in the state of New York.
As a birth parent making an adoption plan for your child you are entitled to an attorney who understands the important and emotional decision you are making.
As a private adoption attorney, I am able to give my clients more personalized attention and greater control over the process than they will find at an adoption agency.
If you are prepared to provide a loving and supportive environment to a foster child, let me help you take the next step and become an adoptive parent.
