Child Adoption Attorney Austin

One of the greatest joys of a family law practice is handling adoptions. At the Slater Kennon & Jameson family law firm, we have assisted many families expand their circle of members through the adoption process. If your family is adopting a newborn or if a stepparent is adopting a stepchild, contact an Austin child adoption lawyer at the Slater Kennon & Jameson law firm.

• Stepparent adoptions: In stepparent adoptions, the biological parent often has not been involved in the child's life. We can help you through the legal process of terminating the biological parent's rights. For the biological parent, that also means termination of child support obligations. By adopting the child, the adoptive parent assumes the full legal role of parenting including financial and emotional support.
• Newborn adoptions: In newborn adoption cases, the adoptive parents often take immediate custody of the child. Our adoption finalization attorney will handle the legal needs including the termination of parental rights for the birth mother and the biological father.

If your family is considering adoption, contact the attorneys at Slater Kennon & Jameson.
