Want to Adopt
Report
Domestic adoptions involve placements of children born in the United States with U.S. families. Private Adoptions (also known as Independent Adoptions)- are birth parent to adoptive parent, without an agency or intermediary responsible for overseeing the placement or taking custody of the child.
In private adoption, the child is usually placed in the physical custody of the adoptive parents immediately after birth, rather than temporarily placed in interim care.Anyone that meets the legal requirements can adopt independently, regardless of marital status, age, race, religion, sexual orientation, or disability.

You are entitled to receive legal guidance that is free of judgment from a compassionate attorney who can empower you to understand the full range of options available to you and your child. The decision to place your child for adoption can be agonizing and there may be few people in your life that understand.
StepParent/Second Parent Adoption
Report
Many families find themselves parenting, raising and loving children who are biologically and legally related to partners from prior relationships. Parents in this role may desire that their legal status match the value of their actual critical role in a child's life.
Securing stepparent parental rights can be critical for a child's legal security, emotional well-being, financial future, and to equalize status among siblings raised in the same home.I would be happy to discuss whether your situation lends itself to establishing parental relationships with children in your care.

From My Clients
Report
We have known Jeanine for over five years. She helped us with both of our adoptions. Both were very different, but Jeanine was with us every step of the way! She is a fabulous lawyer who is not only professional, knowledgeable, but really gets to know you, cares about you and supports you. She always made time for you no matter how big or small the question was.
