Anyone considering adopting a child wonders why the adoption process is so complicated. The answer lies partly in the nature of adoption; adoption can change a person's entire life. As a result, adoption can affect the family relationships of both the adoptee's new and existing family. Because there is so much at stake, you need experienced legal help to manage important adoption elements correctly to avoid costly and painful legal errors.
The adoption lawyers at the Kalish Law Firm have provided legal services to thousands of Houston-area families wishing to build their families through adoption, and we can help you as well. Call us at 281-363-3700 or contact us online today.
Are You Considering a Family-Member, Stepparent or International Adoption? We Can Help.
Firm attorneys Laura Kalish and Sio Ramirez Pitre are highly skilled in handling a variety of adoptions, including:
- International adoptions. We can file your paperwork with the immigration office and handle your case from beginning to end, both with or without the use of an agency. We can handle visas, re-adoptions, reaffirmations, guardianships and all other aspects of international adoptions. We have represented clients in adoptions from China, Guatemala, Vietnam, Russia, Ukraine and other countries. Our adoption practice is exciting and rewarding to us and we enjoy working with each and every one of our adoption families.
- Family adoptions. We have helped stepparents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and other relatives adopt family members.
- Private adoptions, in which a birth mother decides to give up her child for adoption.
- Adult adoptions.
Adoption involves federal, foreign, state and international law, and can become highly complex. Often, legal errors are not discovered until years after the adoption is supposedly complete, causing serious problems, including possible custody transfers. Adoption can also affect estate planning, probate and inheritance.
