Connecticut Lawyer: Adoption & Termination of Parental Rights
I am available to help with all phases of an adoption. From the first step, the termination of parental rights, to the actual adoption itself, I can stand by your side. If a dispute arises, I have the legal experience and knowledge to see that your interests are represented. I am your advocate, ready to apply more than 14 years of experience to your adoption case to see that it is done right.
Before the adoption can begin, you must first have the rights of the existing parent or parents terminated. This can be accomplished in probate court or juvenile court. Reasons to terminate parental rights and seek adoption can include a missing parent, a parent that is on drugs, or a parent that is incarcerated.
The second step is the actual adoption. Typically, this is a fairly simple step. It involves a home study by the Department of Children and Families. The most common cause for delay in adoption cases is a negative result in the DCF home study. I will stand by your side to contest the results, when necessary. I will see that your side of the case is presented.
