If you are looking to adopt a child, you need the assistance of a skilled attorney. The adoption process can be complex and multifaceted. It is important that your interests, and the interests of the child involved, are fully protected.

In a stepparent adoption, the termination of parental rights of the non-custodial biological parent is required. CMDA can assist with this process and other steps involved in establishing a legal relationship between you and your stepchild. If the non-custodial biological parent is uncooperative and unwilling to terminate his or her parental rights, we can seek court intervention. Our attorneys also assist with other family adoptions, including grandparent adoptions.
