California Adoption Lawyer
Finding a child to adopt may have been easy or difficult for you. You may wish to adopt your stepchild or foster child, or the child of a relative or a birth mother referred to you through family or friends. You may have already adopted a child internationally and now wish to complete the U.S. adoption process.
Regardless of your family circumstances, we invite you to bring your adoption needs to our attention at the law offices of Miller & Associates, located in Rocklin and Sacramento, California. We enjoy helping families formalize new relationships through adoption.
Contact� us to learn how we can help with any type of adoption:
- Private adoption
- Stepparent adoption
- Domestic partner adoption
- Same sex partner adoption
- Adoption by single parents
We Counsel and Represent Adoptive Parents
We are ready to help you through all the phases of adoption once you have located a child, including the following:
- Termination of parental rights of the biological parent(s) if still living
- Termination of parental rights of unknown fathers
- Verification of artificial insemination with an anonymous donor when a father is unknown for this reason
- Compliance with all court requirements for formalizing the adoption
Termination of Parental Rights
Termination of an absent father’s parental rights may be complicated to achieve in some cases. At the law offices of Miller & Associates, we work hard to deliver legal services both efficiently and thoroughly. We want to make sure that any adoption that we facilitate as family law attorneys cannot be reversed.
Contested Adoption
In the event that an adoption is contested by a birth father, however, we are prepared to engage in litigation as necessary to resolve the case, representing either the birth parent or the adoptive parent(s).
Guardianships
Call or e-mail Miller & Associates to schedule a consultation. Ask us about other special family needs such as guardianships for grandparents or other adults who care for children who are not their own.
