Why You Need a Florida Adoption Lawyer

Adoption is life-changing for everyone involved. Having an adoption lawyer representing you is important in several respects:

Clear expectations

In an adoption, it’s important to know what to expect. When we’re your adoption lawyer, we take the time to explain everything.

Legal representation

Adoption means a lot of paperwork. We make sure your documents are correct and complete. We avoid mistakes that can mean delays or heartache.

Emotional support

When you have an adoption lawyer, you have legal support during an emotional and deeply personal time. Our office handles the legal matter so that you can focus on what is most important – your family.

Experience you can rely on

We have represented many people like you. You can rely on our experience.

 

Cases We Handle

Every child is special and unique. We handle a wide variety of types of adoption cases and circumstances. Some of the adoption cases we handle are:

– Open adoption

Today, adoptive families have flexibility in how their adoption works. We’ll explain the options so you can do what’s best for your situation.

– Semi-Open adoption

When semi-open adoption is right for you, we provide professional legal services.

– Adult Adoption

We can explore this process and explain how it might best suit your needs.

– Relative adoptions

Relative adoption is a wonderful thing. Our team can guide you through the process when an adoption involves close family members.

– Stepparent adoption

There are some important differences in how stepparent adoption works. Get the information and the help that you need.

– DCF Finalization

We can help with finalization and address any issues that may be important for adoption involving DCF or foster care.

– Same-sex families

Emmanuel Sheppard & Condon welcomes the opportunity to represent same-sex families.

– DCF Intervention Adoption

A DCF intervention adoption is a legal process that enables a child to be privately adopted by a selected family after being in the Department of Children and Families (DCF) care. We can help represent clients in this matter.

– Second parent adoption

Second parent adoption is when a non-biological parent adopts a child. Both parents are recognized as legal parents, which is beneficial to the whole family.

– Single parent adoption

An unmarried adult can legally adopt in Florida. It is our privilege to represent clients in single parent adoption.
