Services
I am passionate about helping individuals and families navigate the legal complexities of adoption and build loving, supportive homes.
Adult Adoption
California law provides that an adult can legally adopt another adult in certain circumstances. Often people choose to adopt an adult stepchild (over 18) because it is an easier process than the stepparent adoption of a minor, or a relative or someone close to them for either emotional or inheritance purposes. We can help with the entire process, including filing the necessary documents in court and scheduling the finalization hearing.
Step-parent Adoption
We can assist if you would like to legally adopt your spouse’s or domestic partner’s child. We terminate the other legal parent’s rights, coordinate with the investigative social worker, and complete all necessary legal work, including scheduling court appearances.
Relative Adoption
We can help you to legally adopt a relative who is a minor. We terminate the legal parents’ rights, coordinate with the agency who will do the investigative study, and complete all necessary legal work including scheduling court appearances.
Infant Adoption
We provide legal services to potential adoptive parents who have matched with an expectant mother or biological parent through their own efforts or through another professional. We do not provide outreach and matching services to adoptive parents
