OVERVIEW
​Adoption

Adoption makes permanent what is often already real, a child who belongs with you, recognized fully in the eyes of the law. The right path depends on your family, and most of the families I help fall into one of three situations.

Adult Adoption

Some bonds between adults have been real for years. Adult adoption gives that relationship full legal recognition, at any age. 

Kinship Adoption

A grandparent, an aunt or uncle, or a sibling has been raising a child who needs permanence. It's time to make things official and secure a future for the child. 



Stepparent Adoption

You have raised your spouse's child as your own, and you want the law to recognize it. This is often the most joyful and straightforward of adoptions.
