ADOPTION: OVERVIEW

Adoptions offer one of the most joyous occasions in family law, but the process is very technical and can be quite daunting if you are unfamiliar with the process.

Adoptions in Georgia are controlled by statute under O.C.G.A. § 19-8-1 et seq., and as with families, adoptions come in all different shapes and sizes:

       1.  Agency Adoptions

       2.  Private Adoptions

            a.  Step-parent Adoptions

            b.  Non-Relative/Step-parent Adoptions

            c.  Adult Adoptions

            d.  Relative Adoptions

Whether you find yourself contemplating an adoption, seeking an adoption through a private agency, or dealing with a termination of parental rights, be sure that you have an attorney looking out for your best interests.
