West Columbia Family Law Lawyers You Can Trust

It is important to know that there are unique nuances in adoption law. For example, while all residents can adopt a child, children can only be placed with residents of the state, except under special circumstances (such as when there is an out-of-state relative).

There are many important factors that must be handled in terms of adoption, such as:

• Getting the birth parents' permission to adopt their child.
• Getting the child's permission if he / she is 14 years or older.
• You must have all childcare costs approved by the court.
• A statement must be sworn and signed by the person / agency giving up the child.
• A full placement investigation must be completed (which evaluates whether your home is suitable, whether you are emotionally mature and financially stable, background checks, etc.).
• You will have to complete a course or counseling prior to finalizing the adoption.

As you can see, having a proficient and reliable legal firm on your side is a must if you intend to navigate through the intimidating waters of the adoption process. To retain the legal experience you need, contact Hall & Hall Attorneys at Law today and request your consultation.
