Adoption

The joys of children are only rivaled by the complexity of rearing them. Bringing a child into your life is perhaps the most serious, beautiful and rewarding decision you can make. With all the nervousness, excitement, and joy, comes a good bit of uncertainty and complexity. An attorney cannot be too careful in walking you through this process. Shannon is experienced in and excited to help you handle your adoption from start to finish. Of course, the length of the process depends on the facts of the case, such as whether the adoption requires termination of a biological parent's rights. Along the way there are home studies, background checks, fingerprints, and detailed investigations of the adopting party before a child can legally be adopted. Whether your case involves a third party adoption of a newborn child, an agency, step-parent, or single parent adoption, or other questions and issues, we are prepared to walk you through the process and celebrate with you at the end!
