Adoption

The decision to adopt a child is exciting and, at times, daunting. The adoption of a child is preceded by much thought, planning and preparation. Many times, you already know the child you want to adopt, such as a stepchild. Piet & Wright assists stepparents throughout the process of adopting their spouse’s stepchild.

An important aspect of the adoption process is the termination of the parental rights of the birth parent. A parent terminates his or her rights to their child when they are no longer part of the child’s life. A parent may willingly consent to a termination of their parental rights, or the termination of the natural parent’s rights may be court-ordered.

If you are seeking a private adoption, there are many credible adoption agencies that can assist you in your search for a child. Piet & Wright represents clients who desire to adopt and clients who wish to be represented as they make the difficult choice of relinquishing their parental rights. We strive to provide the personalized service and attention clients need during these times of transition and emotional upheaval.
