Melbourne Adoption Attorneys You Can Count On

Last updated on August 19, 2024

Deciding to adopt a child is an incredible decision, one that you’ve likely spent months or years on before finally taking the first step. The adoption journey is often overwhelming and emotional, but by the end, you’re sure to feel the precious joy of bringing a child into your home and your family.

At Platt Cole Russell & Simpson PLLC, our adoption attorneys are here to guide you through the process. We understand how difficult and uncertain this situation can be and strive to keep you informed every step of the way. Let us support you as you grow your family and start a new and exciting chapter in your life.

Skilled Attorney Guidance For All Types Of Adoptions

There are various types of adoption options in Florida. At Platt Cole Russell & Simpson PLLC, our adoption attorneys have years of experience in handling:

  • Private adoptions – Where the birth mother and adoptive parents already know each other and don’t need to be matched through an agency. In these cases, our attorneys can help facilitate the adoption and guide you through all the necessary steps.
  • Agency adoptions – This is when an adoption agency facilitates the process by matching adoptive parents with the right child. Our adoption attorneys can help represent you during the process to protect your rights along the way.
  • Relative adoptions – Where a relative, such as a sibling, aunt, uncle or grandparent, is able to adopt a child due to the child’s parents being unable to provide care.
  • Interstate adoptions – When the birth parents and adoptive parents live in different states, our attorneys can help navigate the interstate laws and the safe transfer of the child from one state to the other.
  • Stepparent adoptions – Where a stepparent chooses to adopt their spouse’s child.
  • LGBT adoptions – For same-sex couples who wish to adopt, our adoption lawyers can help ensure their rights are protected as they navigate the process.
  • Foster care adoptions – Where a child who was in foster care is adopted by the foster care parent.
  • Adult adoptions – Where the adoptive parents choose to adopt an adult, such as with a foster child who has aged out of the system.

No matter what type of adoption you’re considering, having a knowledgeable adoptions attorney on your side who is familiar with Florida’s adoption laws can make a big difference. We know what to expect from this process and have experience in working with adoption agencies and handling complex family dynamics that can impact an adoption.

We will guide you every step of the way toward a successful adoption so you can take your child home with confidence.
