Adoption Services We Offer

We assist clients with a range of adoption matters, including:

Stepparent Adoption

Stepparent adoption allows a stepparent to legally establish parental rights. We help navigate consent requirements, parental rights issues, and court approval.

Relative Adoption

Relative adoptions allow family members to provide permanent stability for a child. These cases often involve coordination with juvenile court or prior custody orders.

Agency Adoption

We represent clients working with licensed adoption agencies and help ensure all legal steps are completed properly for court approval.

Independent Adoption

Independent adoptions occur outside of an agency setting and require careful compliance with Tennessee law. We guide clients through each required step.

Adult Adoption

Adult adoption can formalize an existing parent-child relationship for legal or personal reasons. We assist with streamlined court filings and procedures.

Termination of Parental Rights

Some adoptions require termination of parental rights before proceeding. These matters are serious and require experienced legal handling.
