Johnson City Adoption Lawyer

Adoption is the legal creation of the role of parent and child between parties.

Although adoption is most commonly seen with minor children, adoption can also be completed for adults.

Step-parent adoptions may arise when the birth parents are no longer together and one parent has married another spouse who seeks to adopt the child. Step-parent adoptions can be accomplished quickly when the birth parents consent to the step parent adopting their child.

Adoption can be a very complicated issue, especially if it must also be done with an involuntary termination of parental rights. This is often referred to as a contested adoption. Additional complications occur when the child sought to be adopted and the prospective adoptive parents are not residing in the same state.
