Stepparent Adoptions ▪ Grandparent Adoptions ▪ Open and Closed Adoptions ▪ Domestic and International Adoptions
Every adoption is unique. Our New Mexico adoption lawyers can answer all of your questions about your particular situation to help you determine the best way to proceed. We have experience handling adoptions involving all types of scenarios, including:
- Stepparent adoptions: Would you like to be the legally recognized parent of your stepchild? We can help you take this important step.
- Grandparent/interfamilial adoptions: If you would like to adopt your grandchild, niece, nephew or other relative, contact us.
- Closed adoptions: In closed adoptions, the birth parents sign over all parental rights, including visitation rights. Birth parents do not meet adoptive parents or stay in touch with the child.
- Open adoptions: An open adoption allows birth parents to have some contact with the adoptive parents and child.
- Domestic adoptions: Any adoption of a child from any U.S. state is considered a domestic adoption.
- International adoptions: Adopting a child from another country can be difficult, involving the laws of the child's home country, U.S. adoption laws and New Mexico's adoption policies.
We are also able to handle adoption disputes, should they arise. For example, it may be difficult to get the birth father's permission to adopt a child or the birth mother's permission to sign off on a stepparent adoption agreement. Unless the biological parents sign away their parenting rights, the adoption will not go through. We can help you evaluate the situation and negotiate with the birth parents or bring your adoption dispute to court.
