An adoption is a legally binding parental relationship existing between an adult and a child. In fact, once the process of adoption has been completed, adoptive parents’ relationships with their children are legally the same as those between biological parents and children.

 

Ideally, adoption would be a straightforward process that worked to create families that were in the best interests of the child in question. In reality, of course, that is not always how things work out. In fact, adoption is probably one of the most complicated areas of the law, and requires experienced attorneys who have spent a lot of time in family court working on adoption cases. The last thing you want to experience is an adoption that abruptly fails after you have dedicated months of your life to preparation and planning. In order to help avoid tragic situations like the one mentioned above, you should hire an adoption attorney to handle your case.

 

At Funk & Wendlinger, LLC, we understand that family law can be a rough area of the legal system to navigate, and that adoptions can be particularly complex. Our experienced legal team can handle your case and ensure that your adoption is completed successfully and is legally soundly. We work hard so that you can move on with your new family and put the stressful adoption experience behind you. We like to see our clients move on from the frustration and just enjoy their time with their children.

 

One of the most difficult things about adoption law is probably that the laws tend to vary state from state. That means that something that is true in Michigan, for example, might not be true in Indiana. It is important to find an adoption attorney who is experienced in the specific state in question, in other words, to avoid potential pitfalls. Does that sound a bit complicated? Well, that is because it is complicated. It’s even more complicated in other states, and there are many issues to keep in mind.

 

When you are looking at completing an adoption, whether you are the birth parent or the individual hoping to adopt, you need an experienced lawyer who understands the laws in question and can help ensure that the adoption process goes smoothly. This includes doing things like ensuring that all of the relevant information is submitted to the courts on time so that the hearings are not delayed or rescheduled. Additionally, you might have to submit to various interviews and inspections, including a home inspection, depending upon the location of the adoption and your specific circumstances. An attorney can help you set those up as well as ensuring that the results are submitted on time.

 

At Funk & Wendlinger, LLC, we understand just how overwhelming the adoption process can be. This is especially true if you are adopting for the first time, and are not sure how to go about the process. Adoptions can take a long time and become incredibly complicated, which is of course not an ideal situation for anyone. To avoid this, and to help ensure that the adoption in question is completed smoothly and quickly, you really do need to hire an adoption attorney with plenty of experience and know-how. They can help you build a strong case and ensure that everything is done on time so that you can focus on welcoming the new member of your family rather than thinking about yet another upcoming court date.
