Multi-State Stepparent Adoption Lawyers & Attorneys
The legal process of adoption can be joyful, but it can also be confusing and filled with procedural requirements that may feel overwhelming. One misstep can cause unnecessary delays—or, in the worst cases, the denial of an adoption petition. Because of this, many families are unsure how to begin or what steps to take next.
At Stange Law Firm, PC, we provide enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and effective legal counsel to parents pursuing stepparent, agency, and relative adoptions. Our attorneys guide you through each stage of the process, handle the paperwork, and ensure that all legal and procedural requirements are met so your adoption can proceed as smoothly as possible.
We represent clients in a wide range of adoption matters, including:
Stepparent Adoptions
Stepparent adoptions are among the most meaningful areas of our practice. Every family is unique, and for many children, the adoption of a stepparent formalizes an already deep and supportive bond. This process allows a child to gain a legally recognized parent-child relationship with someone who has been a consistent and positive presence in their life.
Our firm assists with securing necessary consents, navigating contested adoptions when required, addressing termination of parental rights issues, and ensuring that the new family structure is recognized and protected under the law.
Agency and Inter-Family Adoptions
We represent both biological and adoptive parents in agency adoptions and inter-family adoptions. Whether working with licensed adoption agencies or within the extended family, we help ensure the legal process is handled correctly from start to finish. Our goal is to help families bring children into their homes while minimizing legal obstacles and addressing any questions that arise along the way.
Grandparent Adoptions
When biological parents are unable to care for their children, grandparents often step in to ensure stability and safety. Some pursue guardianships or conservatorships, while others take the further step of adopting their grandchildren to create a permanent and secure legal relationship. We guide grandparents through this process, helping them meet statutory requirements and advocating for the outcome they believe is best for the child.
Paying Attention to the Details That Matter
Adoption law is detail-driven, and even small errors can become significant setbacks. At Stange Law Firm, PC, our attorneys take every precaution to ensure that the adoption process is handled properly. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail, our proactive approach, and our ability to foresee potential issues before they become problems.
Our dedication has contributed to significant recognition within the legal field. Many of our attorneys have been named to Super Lawyers or Super Lawyers Rising Stars, reflecting our commitment to excellence in family law.
