International Adoptions

International adoption involves adopting a child from another country. The process can be complex, as it involves navigating the laws and regulations of both the United States and the child’s country of origin.

Our team at the Law Offices of David T. Garnes, LLC, has experience in assisting families with international adoption. We can help you understand the requirements and procedures for adopting a child from another country, and we can provide legal guidance throughout the process.

Stepparent Adoptions

Adopting a stepchild can be important to creating a sense of family. In addition to being a meaningful declaration of your relationship with your stepchildren, stepparent adoption can also provide legal recognition of the parental relationship between the stepparent and the child. This can benefit both the child and the stepparent, providing the child with stability and security and giving the stepparent legal rights and responsibilities.

Our team at the Law Offices of David T. Garnes, LLC, can assist you with the legal requirements for stepparent adoption. We can help you navigate the legal process, including obtaining consent from the other parent, filing petitions and attending hearings.
