Adoption

Adoption can give a child stability, love and a sense of belonging. Adoptions also create legal rights and obligations that might not exist otherwise.

If the adoption involves a single parent in a long-term relationship with a new partner who already acts like a parent to the child, adoption can create a legal bond to match the emotional bond that already exists.

If part of the adoption process includes a biological parent giving up his or her rights to a child, it can be a difficult decision for that parent to make. We offer a non-judgmental atmosphere in which biological parents can discuss current and future rights regarding their children.

It is important for everyone involved — both adults and children — to understand how they will be affected.
