Adoption is the legal procedure that allows a family to make a child who is not biologically their own a part of their family. Every adoption, whether you are adopting a child born in Minnesota or in another part of the world, requires the action and approval of a court to become final.
We represent families who are adopting children, including Step-parent adoptions.
As your adoption attorney, we will ensure that everyone understands their rights and responsibilities and that a full and complete and final termination of the biological parental rights is made so there is no chance for anyone to come back later and make a claim to a child. We also make sure all appropriate state approvals are obtained.
Adoption relieves birth parents of the financial responsibilities they owe their children. In the past, adoption also meant birth parents relinquished the child forever without the privilege of seeing the child or being otherwise involved in the child's life. However, particularly in domestic adoptions, policies have changed and birth parents sometimes now are allowed open adoptions where they maintain contact with their children after the adoption becomes final.
