Kinship Adoptions

When parents are no longer fit to care for their child or are deceased, relatives may step in and provide the love and support they need through kinship adoption. Many times, biological parents provide an unsafe environment to their children, and a grandparent, sibling, aunt, uncle, or the first cousin can step in to care for the child. Our attorneys can provide legal counsel through a kinship adoption. From your basic duties as a guardian to the background investigations, we lend a hand to you and ensure your rights are fully protected throughout the process.

Stepparent Adoption

A stepparent adoption is where the natural parent either relinquishes his/her rights by consenting to the adoption or has abandoned the child for over a year. After the adoption is finalized, a new birth certificate will be issued naming the party adopting the child as the child’s parent.

By having legal custody, the stepparent is able to make financial, educational, and medical decisions as if they were the biological parent. Custody also allows a child to inherit property from their stepparent.

If you are thinking about adoption and need legal representation, our adoption attorneys in Grand Junction, CO, can help. We are here available to you from start to finish, showing individual and compassionate attention that sets us apart. Contact us today to schedule your initial consultation.
