Choosing an Adoption Attorney in Arizona

Many birth mothers don’t realize how much legal work is involved in the adoption process. Having a great adoption attorney is just as important as having a knowledgeable caseworker or finding the best adoptive family or individual for your child. Without adoption attorneys, adoption would not be possible. 

As a birth mother, when you work with Adoption Choices of Arizona, an adoption attorney will work alongside your caseworker throughout your adoption journey. A good adoption attorney will help the process move quicker, make sure your rights and wishes are respected and ensure everything is kept in order until finalization. We will arrange legal support for you! 

What do they do?

As your adoption journey progresses, your adoption attorney will assist you with any legal matters that are necessary for the adoption to take place. They focus on matters such as terminating parental rights and tracking down parties who need to sign legal documents — like your child’s birth father. Additionally, after your baby is born, they will assist the adoptive parents by finalizing the adoption, and obtain a copy of the Amended Birth Certificate. While you technically do not need to work with an adoption agency to place your baby for adoption, an adoption attorney is required for the adoption to be legal.

Experience
