Adoption Trusted Guidance That Exceeds Expectations

Adoption Attorney in Baton Rouge

Are you thinking about adoption? - Call Us Today (225) 228-4445

The prospect of adoption can be very exciting, but it is a legal process not to be taken lightly. Anyone considering adoption must realize that this is a life-long commitment, unlike guardianship. You are agreeing to take care of the child as your own, as you would with your own children. There are definite legal processes that must be carefully followed to protect you and to protect the child. A family law lawyer in Baton Rouge can help you navigate this process so that the adoption can take place as smoothly and as quickly as possible.

Listed below are some more common types of adoptions:

  • Newborn adoptions. Can take 6-12 months to finalize. Adoptive parents are able to help pay certain expenses before and after the birth.

  • Open adoptions. This is where the biological parents and the adoptive parents are known to each other. Their contact with each other can range from only written communications to in-person visits.

  • Closed adoptions. This type involves total confidentiality regarding the ID of both sets of parents. The records are sealed and there is no contact between the families.

  • Semi-open adoptions. In these adoptions, non-identifying information about both sets of parents can be given in written form prior to the adoption. After the child is born, written communications, such as letters and pictures, can be exchanged via a mediator.

There are several other types of adoptions as well. They include foster care adoptions, domestic adoptions, international adoptions, single parent adoptions, relative adoptions, and others.
