The Adoption Process

Adoptions can be accomplished easily if the birth parent is willing to relinquish parental rights. Our firm can review your situation, prepare the adoption petition and represent you in court for a reasonable fee.

Related adoptions (step-parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, step-brother, and step-sister) have streamlined procedures they often do not require a home or background study. Our firm will work to achieve your adoption as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The birth parents must give up their parental rights, either voluntarily or by court decree. Once a parent gives up these rights, he or she has no recourse regarding visitation rights except by the permission of the adoptive parents.

We have provided advice and information to a number of birth parents who have wanted to give up their babies for adoption. We can review your situation and explain the adoption process.

Guardianship as an Alternative to Adoption

Calabrese Associates, P.C. can also assist you in creating a guardianship for a person who can not care for himself or herself, or when a parent is temporarily incapable of performing his or her parental duties. With a guardianship, the parent does not lose all parental rights and can regain them at a later date.
