  1. Mongillo Law - Process of Adoption and Types of Adoption

  2. Families choose to adopt children to give the children a better future. Adoption requires a lot of paperwork and legalities. Adoption is an emotional event for families and children. A family must be aware of all the formalities before making a decision. Family lawyers like Leo Mongillo help families take the first steps towards adoption.The first steps towards adoption require the families to go through home study. Adoption agencies and state officials visit the families for many interviews. The officers visit the home of parents to ensure that the family is financially stable. The family can choose to adopt from adoption agencies or through their family and friends. Adoption has to be cleared by the adoption court.

  3. Types of Adoption: Adoption through Agencies:The parents can choose between a public agency and a private agency. A private agency supports the parents through counseling. The agency may cater to only wealthy families or families of a particular caste. The public agencies cater to all kinds of families. They usually deal with older children, children with special needs, and troubled backgrounds.

  4. Adoption with the Help of Family and Friends: Adoption without the involvement of an agency is more personalized than an agency adoption. The adoptive parents form a relationship with the biological parents. Families who opt for independent adoption undergo more reporting and more frequent checks by the authorities.

  5. Open Relationship Adoption: Open adoption is the process where the biological parents and adoptive parents form a relationship with each other. The agencies provide the biological parents with the profiles of prospective adoptive parents. The birth parents can choose the right family for their child. Open adoption may begin at the time of pregnancy. The relationship may continue even after the adoption process is complete.

  6. Confidential Adoption: As opposed to open adoption, closed adoption allows for minimum or no contact between the biological parents and the adoptive parents. The state handles all the paperwork in confidentiality. The government decides whether the family is sound for adopting a child.

  7. Stepparents Adopting the Child of Their Spouse: The stepparent might decide to adopt the child of their partner. Adoption by the stepparent has fewer formalities as the parties are known to each other. The parties already have a relationship with each other. The only problem in this kind of adoption arises when the biological parent is not ready to give up the child. The courts can sometimes direct or force the biological parent to give up the rights if there is evidence of child abuse, financial instability, etc.

  8. Same-Sex Adoption: In the past, same-sex adoption was not allowed in some states. They face problems in adoption even at present. They have to navigate through some extra-legal requirements. The family attorneys can help the couple fight for their rights in court.A competent family attorney helps the family to make the right decision. A family attorney walks with the family throughout the process of adoption. Mongillo law firm is a firm that specializes in family law and represents the client in court when necessary.
