If you are planning to adopt a child in Florida, you are welcome to contact the Law Offices of Fisher & Frommer, PLLC. Learn how we can help facilitate a smooth adoption process, regardless of the type of adoption:
- Stepparent adoption
- Grandparent adoption
- Private adoption
- A complex adoption, such as when a biological parent is incarcerated and a judge determines that an involuntary termination of parental rights is in the child's best interests
We can advise you on all the legal aspects of an adoption, including:
- Paternity test, if applicable
- Notification of an absent parent, if applicable
- Fulfilling any requirement of the state such as a home study
- Preparing for the adoption procedure in court
It is important to realize the lifelong implications of a successful adoption. Your adopted child will be legally "grafted in" to your family tree, and will have all the rights of a natural child of yours. He or she will no longer be a legal part of his or her biological family of origin.
It is also essential to take all legal steps necessary to ensure that an adoption will be "forever" and cannot be challenged or undone. Prevent potential heartache following a private adoption in Florida by working with an experienced Orlando family lawyer. Our attorneys have the knowledge and skills necessary to make sure that your new parental rights will be binding.
The Law Offices of Fisher & Frommer, PLLC, also assists with temporary guardianships for children whose parents will be inaccessible for some period of time — due to military deployment, for example.
