At Bertolino LLP, our experienced family law attorneys assist prospective adoptive parents with stepparent, relative, and other domestic adoptions. Our familiarity with the child adoption process and all the details associated with it can streamline the best procedure for you, save time, and avoid uncertainty. Contact one of our family law lawyers in Austin, Houston or San Antonio to learn about our experience with facilitating adoption of a child.
Several of our adoption attorneys have served in the capacity of guardian ad litem, an officer appointed by the court to represent the interests of the child in family law or child welfare proceedings. This experience helps us guide you through the adoption procedures of home studies, background checks, and parent evaluations. If you have minor problems in your background, the Firm's experienced adoption lawyers can work with you and the applicable state or county agencies to resolve them. Our goal is to help you complete your family on your terms while satisfying all of the legal requirements.
Our responsive and capable adoption lawyers represent adoptive parents interested in providing homes for children in the following situations:
- Stepparent adoption
- Relative adoption
- Grandparent adoption
- Single parent adoption
In certain situations, a family or single parent might also be interested in adopting a an adult over 18 years of age. Reasons for this decision might include estate planning or reuniting a biological family. The person to be adopted must consent to the procedure, and all parties must appear in court together to finalize the adoption.
Our experienced and successful adoption attorneys also follow through on the administrative details associated with adoption law. These include name changes, updating certificates of birth or school registration, and making sure that the adoptive child or adult is properly identified at the Texas Bureau of Vital Statistics, the Social Security Administration, and other agencies.
