I handle adoptions between parties who have agreed that the biological parents want to terminate their parental rights to a child and the other parties want to adopt the child. In some situations, it may be an adoption by a step-parent. In some situations, the parental rights of a parent are terminated by a court rather than a voluntarily release of the rights to the child by the biological parent. Whether termination is voluntary or by court action, I can handle the adoption for you so that you can rest assured that the adoption will be filed timely and faultlessly. At times, a child from another state is adopted in Georgia by Georgia parents. In that circumstance, I will coordinate with an attorney from the state of the biological parents to see that all documents required by both states are properly executed and filed.
