Helping Families Through The Adoption Process
Adoption is an exciting time for families. However, the process can be complex and disputes may sometimes occur, especially if a parent refuses to voluntarily terminate their parental rights. That is why it is important to have a lawyer on your side to help carry out the adoption as smoothly as possible.
At Bertuccini Law Firm, our Lafayette adoption attorneys help Louisiana families establish parental responsibilities. A major focus of our legal practice is ensuring that the interests of the children are a primary focus of the outcome of the adoption process.
We Handle All Types Of Adoptions
Adoption cases are not limited to matters where a mother decides to offer a child up for adoption. If parents are divorced and one parent remarries, it is common for the stepparent to adopt the children. In other cases, grandparents or other relatives may wish to adopt their loved ones, either because a parent can no longer care for the children, or the parents have passed away.
Most adoption cases do not involve adversity or incident. In some cases, however, especially those involving unfit parents, a mother and/or father may challenge a request to terminate their parental rights. The idea of surrendering parental obligations is difficult. The statute involving parental surrender sets forth the requirements to terminate parental rights. In these cases, we can help pursue a resolution through litigation, keeping in mind the best interests of the children at every stage of the legal process.
