National Adoption Month is not just a date on the calendar; it’s a powerful opportunity to focus on building families across Florida. At Tate Healey Webster, we mark this month by doubling down on our commitment to clients. Monday’s hearing schedule alone—featuring 10 separate, critical adoption-related hearings—is a testament to our dedication to the Florida adoption community.
Comprehensive Legal Support for Every Florida Adoption Case
Our daily commitment covers the full spectrum of family-building law. We are actively involved in every phase of the adoption process, from beginning to final decree. Our recent court appearances include:
-
Contested Hearings: Including vital Termination of Parental Rights (TPR) hearings to secure a child’s legal path to permanence.
-
Family & Relative Adoptions: Finalizing stepparent adoptions and relative adoption finalizations, which keep children within their extended family network.
-
Infant & Older Child Placements: Handling newborn placements and finalizing adoptions for children in foster care, securing their forever home.
-
DCF Interventions: Providing expert legal counsel in complex cases involving the Department of Children and Families.
This intense, focused work demonstrates why we are recognized as the largest adoption and ART law firm in Florida. We don’t just file paperwork; we navigate the intricate legal landscape to achieve the best possible outcome for your family.
Unmatched Expertise: Why Your Choice of Attorney Matters
When your family’s future is on the line, expertise is non-negotiable. Tate Healey Webster features five board-certified adoption attorneys, which is the most at any one law firm in the state.
This depth of experience ensures that we have the bandwidth and specialized knowledge to manage even the most legally complex cases, from interstate compact issues to contested litigation. Our team is fully dedicated to providing prompt, focused attention to every client, a crucial factor as we approach the end of the year.
Strategic Planning and the Federal Adoption Tax Credit
For many families, the timing of your adoption finalization is financially significant. Finalizing an adoption before December 31st may qualify you for the Federal Adoption Tax Credit. This critical, non-refundable benefit can substantially offset many of your adoption-related expenses.
A proactive Florida adoption attorney will prioritize your case to help you maximize this opportunity. At Tate Healey Webster, our year-end planning is designed to help eligible families finish strong and take full advantage of all available benefits.
