Henderson Adoption Attorneys

Experienced Henderson Adoption Lawyers Ready To Provide You Support

If you live in the Henderson area and you are considering adoption, congratulations! Adoption is often a very joyous, exciting time in life. It is, in fact, one of the most significant life decisions you can make. A decision like this can change your life forever, so it’s important to make it carefully. If you’ve thoroughly considered it and you are certain that you are ready to begin this exciting new chapter of life, then we would welcome the opportunity to sit down with you for a consultation about the adoption process and how we can help you.

At Mills & Anderson, we are proud to be a part of the Henderson community and we are very proud of the many successful adoptions we have helped with over the years. We understand adoption law, and we understand its importance to our clients. This is one of the biggest, most important decisions of your life, and we believe it deserves to be made with full knowledge of the legal process so that you can make the best decision for your family-to-be.

Types of Adoption

The law pertaining to the adoption process can be broken down into essentially three separate categories:

Adoption by a Step-Parent: If you are a parent who has remarried and you wish for your new spouse to legally adopt your son or daughter, the easiest route to accomplish this is to obtain the consent of the biological parent. If you can do so, the process will be relatively quick and should go smoothly. If the biological parent objects, however, the adoption can only proceed if the rights of the biological parent are terminated. Understandably, this will prolong the process and make it more difficult.
Adoption by a Relative: As is the case with adoption by a step-parent, adoption by a relative can be a quick process or a lengthy one, depending on the circumstances involved. If one wishes to be considered a relative, they must be related within a certain number of degrees to the adoptee in question. Further, both biological parents will need to either consent to the adoption or have their rights terminated prior to the adoption proceeding.
Adoption by Neither Step-Parent nor Relative: If neither parent is related to the child, adoption can be a lengthy process but certainly one that is well worth it. Parents wishing to adopt in this way will likely need to consult the services of an adoption agency to ensure that they qualify for the adoption. They will also need to retain the services of a Henderson adoption attorney who is knowledgeable and experienced in this area to help them through the legal aspects of the adoption process.

We would also note that, though it is far less common, in all of the above scenarios, it is legally possible to adopt an adult as well as a child. Though it is rare, it does happen. In these instances, both the adoptive parent and the adoptee adult (as well as their spouses, if either or both are married) must specifically give consent to the adoption.

Why a Henderson Adoption Lawyer?

When it comes to the adoption process, so much is on the line. The money and time you’ve invested in the process, certainly. But even more importantly, your heart and your plans for the future are likely invested as well. The law surrounding the adoption process can be complex, and emotions can run high. Without the assistance of a dedicated Henderson adoption attorney who has a thorough knowledge of the law and the experience to back it up, the risk that something could be missed or go wrong, and ultimately causes the adoption to fall through, is high. A failed adoption is a heartbreaking situation for the prospective parents and often for the child as well. Having our experienced and trusted Henderson adoption lawyers who understand the law and can advise you through each step of the process often makes all the difference. At Mills & Anderson, we would love to be those lawyers for you.
