Guiding Your Through The Adoption Process

.

Adopting a child is a deeply personal decision for any couple. It involves many factors, with emotions and family finances often front and center.

But adoption in New Jersey also requires close attention to creating the right legal foundation for your expanded family. At Puccio & Fiorello LLC, in Wayne, we help clients throughout Passaic County do just that.

What Type Of Adoption Are You Seeking?

There are several different types of adoptions. These include:

• Stepparent or grandparent adoption – Sometimes, after parents split up, stepparents or grandparents end up adopting a child. This can happen either if the parents are divorced or if they never married.
• Birth mother giving up child for adoption – In these cases, it is crucial to clarify whether the adoption will be open (allowing the child to know the identity of the birth mother) or closed. There may also be arrangements to be worked out regarding surrogacy, if a woman has contracted to carry a child for someone else.
• International adoption – When foreign countries are involved, the adoption process can involve many different agencies and considerations.
