At the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, our experienced adoption attorneys in Lakehills, Texas, are here to guide you through the crucial adoption court proceedings, ensuring your adoption is finalized smoothly and with minimal stress.
What Are Adoption Court Proceedings?
Adoption court proceedings are essential to legally finalize the adoption process. After completing paperwork, background checks, and a home study, your case moves into the court phase. This stage formally establishes the child as a legal member of your family.
Key Steps in Adoption Court Proceedings
- Filing the Petition for Adoption
This is the formal request that initiates the adoption process. Our attorneys help you prepare and file the petition, ensuring all legal requirements are met. - Notifying Relevant Parties
Birth parents or other legal parties must be notified of the adoption to obtain their consent. We handle these notifications for you. - Court Hearing
The judge reviews your case and ensures all requirements are met. This is when the adoption is formally discussed, and adopting parents may meet the judge. - Finalizing the Adoption
Once the judge is satisfied, the adoption is finalized, and you receive an official decree granting full parental rights and responsibilities.
