Adoption is one of the most challenging areas of family law as it involves the potential loss of parental rights. The process includes two parts: terminating the parental rights of one or both parents and determining if the prospective adoptive parent is suitable and if it’s in the child’s best interest.

An uncontested adoption occurs when all parties agree, and the biological parents willingly surrender their rights. In a contested adoption, the court must investigate the termination of parental rights, often based on misconduct, abandonment, or inability to care for the child. If parental rights are terminated, the court then evaluates the suitability of the adoptive parent.

Adoptions can be intricate and emotionally taxing, involving the futures of children. Sherri Kelley can help you understand the process and present evidence to effectively manage your adoption needs.
