Types of Adoptions We Handle

Adopting a child can be a lengthy, complicated process. First and foremost, you must meet certain requirements set forth by the state of Virginia. You must be at least 18 years old and will have to pass a home study before you are approved. Secondly, there are several different types of adoptions, each of which has its own various regulations and requirements.

Our firm can help you with a number of different types of adoptions, including:

  • Agency adoption
  • Parental placement adoption
  • Foster parent adoption
  • International adoption

In most cases, adoptions are facilitated through the Virginia Department of Social Services. While it is not always required that you have an adoption attorney to navigate this process, it can be incredibly beneficial to enlist the assistance of a skilled and experienced lawyer. Working with an attorney often results in a smoother, swifter adoption process. Furthermore, our team can help you understand your options and take action should issues arise.

We are here to answer your questions and help you through the adoption process. Contact us today to speak with one of our Fairfax adoption attorneys.
