Expertise in Family Formation Law: Adoption (Independent, Agency, Adult, Stepparent), Surrogacy, Assisted Reproduction Technology and Guardianship
It’s not too often that dreams come true. But, a few years ago, ours did, when my wife and I became adoptive parents. The joy that our daughter brought into our lives was immense. Our world expanded. Overnight, we became a Mommy and a Daddy. A beautiful little girl depended on us.
In our quest to adopt a baby, we learned what we liked and didn’t like about the adoption process. Because of our experience with our own daughter’s adoption and her birth mother, I decided to focus my law practice on adoptions and family formation law. To date, I’ve successfully helped more than 1,000 families through the adoption process. Although my adoption law firm is based in Los Angeles, we serve pregnant women and families seeking to adopt throughout the United States.
Across the United States, and especially in California, adoption laws are undergoing substantial revision. The California legislature and state courts continue to enact, interpret, and change child adoption law. Every stroke of the legislative and judicial pen impacts on every person involved in the adoption process, including adoption law firms, adoption agencies, birth parents and adoptive families. Now more than ever, choosing the right adoption attorney is crucial to the success of a private independent adoption.
My clients quickly discover that I treat them and their adoptions as though I am standing in their shoes. That’s because my wife and I have already walked the same path. Both my wife and I wish you success and joy as you make an adoption plan, find a baby to adopt, and build your family through adoption. It is a loving choice. Like us, you’ll discover that dreams really can and do come true.
Lots of businesses online promote themselves as baby adoptions specialists who “handle” infant adoptions, toddler adoptions and child adoptions. They say that they can provide full service adoption legal services; that they are “experts” in child adoption law. But the truth is that all baby adoption lawyers and adoption agencies are not the same.
It takes a brave woman to make an adoption plan and to place her baby up for adoption. It takes secure and caring adoptive families to adopt babies and make a legal, safe adoption plan for their family. Adoption is a major legal process, whether it is independent adoption, agency adoption, stepparent adoption, second parent adoption or adult adoption. You need to work with the most qualified adoption lawyer when you want to adopt a newborn or want to find a family for your baby adoption or infant adoption plan. I am here to assist you with your adoption plans.
