Adoption - An Overview
Adoption is a way of forming a legal parent-child relationship. Through adoption, a parent other than the birthparent becomes legally responsible for the child's physical, material, and emotional well-being. Adoption is gaining popularity, and has changed dramatically even from ten years ago. Further, it has a growing status as a positive way to form a family, unlike decades ago when adoption was often viewed negatively and kept a secret. If you are interested in adopting a child, you should contact an adoption attorney in your state. Adoption attorneys specialize in adoptions and are well-versed in your state's adoption laws.

Adoption Law
For the most part, adoption law is state law. All 50 states have statutory law that governs adoption. Each state's laws on adoption, while similar, apply in particular to adoptions that occur within its boundaries.

Adoption attorneys can help adoptive parents find a birth mother, arrange for the adoption process to start, and finalize the adoption with the court. As mentioned, the laws governing adoption vary from state to state. Adoption attorneys are experts in understanding complex adoption laws. Your attorney will explain the rights and responsibilities associated with adoption. He or she will review your finances with you so as to make the most of the adopt benefits and assistance available. If you decide to use an adoption agency as well, your attorney can review the agency contract for validity and fairness. In short, the attorney will advocate for you at every stage in the adoption process, from initial inquiries to post-placement.
