Guiding You Through the Adoption Process to Complete Your Family

Adoption is one of the most joyous undertakings for any family, and I take great pride in facilitating this life-changing process. Whether adopting a grandchild, stepchild, or another family member in need of a loving home, I have the experience and knowledge to make this emotional and sometimes challenging journey as smooth as possible for both parents and children.

With family law experience dating back to 1988, my firm has successfully united many families throughout Ohio. I represent family members with deep, important relationships with children who seek to formalize these bonds. Additionally, I handle guardianships for family members wanting to intercede on behalf of a child.

I bring extensive family law experience to families throughout Greater Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. For over four decades, my firm has built a successful practice rooted in personal service and a reputation for honesty and trustworthiness. As your family law attorney, I prioritize your needs and interests. Contact me by email or call 216-771-7080 to schedule a free initial consultation.

Overcoming Adoption Challenges in Ohio

Formalizing your relationship with a child requires patience, planning, and the right family law attorney to make the process stress-free. Some challenges in adoption include:

  • Terminating Biological Parental Rights: Addressing issues when a biological parent contests the adoption or is otherwise uncooperative.

  • Filing the Adoption Petition: Managing the extensive paperwork involved in petitioning to adopt a child.

  • Court Hearings: Navigating the hearing process in court.

  • Biological Parents Reclaiming Rights: Handling cases where a biological parent attempts to reclaim their legal rights after adoption.
