Adoption Lawyer Greensboro, NC

As a prospective parent exploring your options for adoption, you’re probably feeling excited and nervous all at once. The excitement of finding the child that completes your family is blended with the nervousness of the adoption application process and how to fulfill the legal requirements that will make you a parent. While our Greensboro adoption lawyer cannot find a child for you, we can help in just about every other way.

We can help you evaluate adoption agencies and choose a good fit for your values. As local family law attorneys, we are familiar with Triad agencies as well as larger ones that operate in North Carolina. We can help you understand agency practices, the paperwork involved (and what you must submit with your adoption applications), and red flags that may indicate that an agency or private individual isn’t on the up-and-up.

In North Carolina, home visits for adoptive parents are mandatory. We help you understand the purpose behind the Department of Social Services visits and vetting and assist you with preparations to demonstrate to the social services agent that you are safe, stable, and can provide a good home for the child. Our firm will also help you complete the application and all paperwork so that no errors or omissions delay the process or cause your application to be denied.

We also work with biological parents who cannot keep their child and want them to be raised in a safe home with loving parents. We can guide you to reputable agencies that pair children with adoptive parents, explain how to properly relinquish your parental rights, and set up a formal agreement between you and the adoptive parents if you seek an open adoption.

Our Experience Makes The Difference In Your Adoption Plans

The State of North Carolina takes the safety and welfare of children very seriously and so requires adoptive parents to properly demonstrate their fitness and capability of raising a child. There are many steps between deciding to adopt and holding your child for the first time. With our 25-plus years as family law attorneys, The Spagnola Law Firm has the experience you need to get it right.
