Hidden
Why should I hire an adoption lawyer for DFCS or relative adoption?
An adoption lawyer ensures that all legal requirements are satisfied, assists with complex paperwork, and protects your interests in court. Even when DFCS is involved or the adoption is within the family, legal advice can help prevent delays or problems.
What is an adoption lawyer's involvement in DFCS adoptions?
The lawyer works with DFCS to finalize the adoption, ensures parental rights are appropriately terminated (if applicable), prepares and files legal documents, and represents you at the court hearing.
What function does an adoption lawyer play in relative adoptions?
In relative adoptions, the lawyer will assist you in demonstrating eligibility, collecting appropriate consents or termination of parental rights, and ensuring the adoption meets state standards.
How long does the adoption process take with DFCS?
Finalization may take a month or two after DFCS authorizes the placement and terminates parental rights. You can be assured that we will monitor the process and do all we can to keep everything on track.
How long does relative adoption take?
This is dependent on whether both biological parents consent. If consent is granted, it might take only a few days. If not, the process may take longer since the court must consider termination of parental rights, and the parents have to be served.
