Some of the best days in a family law attorney's life are when we see adoptions completed and new families made. Smiling faces, new names, and the beginning of new memories together are what adoptions are made of. Adoption is the end result of a process where a child gains new legal parent(s) and parent(s) gain a new child.
Adoptions create a legal recognition of parent/child relationship that did not previously exist. There are many types of adoptions---stepparent adoptions, family adoptions, agency adoptions, independent adoptions, international adoptions, and even adult adoptions.
