Forsyth County, GA Domestic Adoptions Lawyer
We primarily work with Georgia families and adoption agencies to facilitate domestic adoptions. We begin by securing full and final termination of parental rights, ensuring the biological parents do not attempt to reclaim the child after the adoption is complete. All of our child adoption cases are handled with care and attention to detail in order to avoid unpleasant surprises down the road.
Open and Closed Adoptions in the State of Georgia
If you obtain a closed adoption, that means the birth parents agree to terminate contact with the adoptive parents once the adoption is final. If you obtain an open adoption, that means the birth parents may maintain some level of contact with the adoptive parents even after giving up the baby. As experienced adoption attorneys, we will advise you on which choice is best for your family.
If You Wish to Adopt a Child
