Tailoring The Adoption Process To Your Families Needs
Every family has different needs when it comes to adoption. Some families want to move the process along quickly while others want to make sure all loose ends are competently resolved.
Attorney Ketron Birdwell works with each family to understand these unique needs for the following types of adoption, including:
- Stepparent adoption
- Grandparent adoption
- Domestic adoption
- International adoption
- Agency adoption
Attorney Ketron will explain the statutory process to obtain an adoption. To help you understand the timeline to accomplish an adoption, he will inform you on the realistic length of time it will take to adopt a child. Some adoptions are quickly accomplished, while others may take months or years. The timeline depends on your family’s individual circumstances.
Uncontested adoptions, in which the child’s parents have consented to the adoption or their parental rights have been terminated, typically progress more quickly than contested adoptions. While it is usually in the child’s best interests to avoid a courtroom battle, Attorney Ketron will represent your interests in court if litigating the contested issues becomes necessary.
