Sarasota Adoption Legal Services

Our attorneys provide comprehensive legal support for all types of adoption cases in Sarasota and surrounding areas, including:

Private and Infant Adoptions

We represent adoptive parents and birth parents in private placement adoptions, managing consents, disclosures, home studies, and final court hearings to ensure the process is smooth and legally sound.

Stepparent and Relative Adoptions

If you’re a stepparent, grandparent, or other family member already caring for a child, we help formalize your parental role, providing stability and legal security for your family.

Foster-to-Adopt and DCF Interventions

Our experienced attorneys help families and relatives intervene in dependency cases involving the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) to pursue adoption when it’s in the child’s best interest.

LGBTQ+ and Same-Sex Couple Adoptions

We are proud to support Sarasota’s diverse families, providing inclusive, knowledgeable legal representation for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples throughout the adoption process.
