An experienced and affordable step-parent and second-parent adoption attorney serving all of Virginia.

Several scenarios with adoption are both expensive and time-consuming. Step-parent and second-parent adoption, however, doesn't need to be one of them. Things tend to go smoothly when a step-parent or second-parent desires to adopt their child, and the birth parent joins in on the petition. That being the case, there is no DIY manual, and the courts tend not to be helpful when providing legal advice.

If you find you’re in the position of wanting to adopt your step-child or be a legally recognized second parent, call us today so we can get the process started for you. If your situation varies slightly and you wish to move forward, contact us. We'll walk you through the process and work with you to accomplish your goal of adoption.
