Adoption makes a child legally your own. It confers upon you the same rights and responsibilities of biological parenthood for a child who is not your issue.
Adoption protects the best interests of the children and establishes the rights and obligations of parents or guardians.
Children who are relatives, stepchildren, foster children, children waiting to be adopted in the U.S. or foreign countries, even adults are all eligible for adoption.
There are many complex issues that can come up during the adoption process. Both birth parents and adoptive parents need representation and/or counseling during the adoption process. You will need an attorney to successfully adopt.
If you are thinking about or planning adoption, call Ballou Law Partners at 612-321-9800.
