Full-Service Bethalto Child Adoption Attorneys
Adoption is often a cause for celebration among families. However, without the guidance of a knowledgeable adoption attorney, it could cause more heartache and stress than joy. The Law Office of Susan F. Grammer, Attorney at Law, offers comprehensive services in adoption for married couples and those remarrying in Illinois and Missouri. We also represent same-sex couples and domestic partners in Illinois wishing to add to their families through adoption.
Your Advocate in Related or Stepparent Adoption
As family law attorneys, we offer comprehensive services in stepparent adoption, grandparent adoption and other related adoption matters. In addition to negotiating and drafting all necessary documents, we work one-on-one with you on issues such as termination of parental rights, child custody modifications, child support issues and other concerns. Our lawyers walk you through each step in the process so you always know what to expect.
Experienced Services in Public and Private Adoption
Our East Alton adoption attorneys represent both adoptive couples and birth parents in private, unrelated adoptions. Our firm has 29 years of experience handling all aspects of adoption, including:
- Arranging provisions for open vs. confidential adoption
- Providing caring, knowledgeable counsel concerning termination of parental rights
- Advising you on your rights and obligations as parents
- Handling new birth certificates and name changes if needed
- Drafting all necessary paperwork
We have extensive experience working with public agencies and private adoption organizations on issues with termination of parental rights, home studies and matching prospective parents with birth parents.
Throughout the adoption process, we believe in promoting the continued well-being of the child, whether he or she is a new baby or an older child. We seek to create a comfortable and supportive atmosphere for families in our community involved in adoption.
While our firm does not handle all aspects of international adoption, we are happy to represent adoptive couples throughout domestic adoption proceedings once a child has legally been brought to the United States. We also handle adult adoption cases.
