Adoption cases can be emotional and stressful for all parties involved; particularly if both parents do not agree to the placement. Your case is too important not to have an experienced adoption attorney on your side.
Adoption is a legal process to place children who have been permanently and legally separated from their biological parents with adoptive parents. If adoption is granted, the Judge will enter an order terminating the rights of the biological parents and awarding the adoptive parents full parental rights and obligations pertaining to the child.
In Virginia, there are two types of adoption: The first is an Agency Placement Adoption whereby the child is placed for adoption by an adoption agency. The second type is a Non-Agency Adoption whereby a biological parent or legal guardian petitions for adoption. Non-Agency adoptions include:
- Stepparent Adoptions
- Parental Placement Adoptions
- Adult Adoptions
- Close Relative Adoptions
