Experienced Adoption Attorneys
As adoption laws become more complex, attorney involvement in adoptions has increased exponentially. The days of “simple” adoption processes are largely gone. Now, international, stepparent, foster parent and interstate adoptions often involve barriers and legal risks that are frequently best handled by an experienced adoption lawyer. Don’t worry – Almand, Orsi & Campbell, PLLC can help. For instance:
- Have you adopted a child from another country? We can help you register your international adoption so that your child can have an American birth certificate, which will prevent the need to try to communicate about these official documents in a foreign language in your child’s country of origin. We can also coordinate with agencies to finalize the adoption legally here in Arkansas.
- Often a step-parent wants to adopt his or her spouse’s children? Apart from procedural issues, challenges to this can include obtaining consent from a natural parent who is out of the picture or proving that consent is unreasonably withheld.
- The rights of birth parents must be protected. Often referred to as “father’s rights,” we make sure that the adoption process is aboveboard and in the best interest of the child.
- Are you interested in an interstate adoption? We work with the agencies to resolve legal issues regarding legal control of child, establishing guardianships prior to adoption and meeting all of the requirements of Arkansas law.
- Are you a foster parent who wants to adopt? Our firm can manage the legal process for you, helping you turn your foster child into a legal member of your family.
