Dedicated Adoption Guidance for Sarasota Families

Adoption is a life-changing journey that deserves experienced, compassionate legal guidance. Our Sarasota adoption attorneys help families and birth parents move forward with clarity, confidence, and trusted support at every stage.

At Tate Healey Webster, we believe that adoption is more than a legal process—it’s a way to build, protect, and grow families. Our Sarasota adoption attorneys are proud to help families, birth parents, stepparents, and relatives across Sarasota County and the Gulf Coast of Florida navigate the complexities of adoption with skill, compassion, and decades of focused experience.

Whether you’re adopting privately, pursuing a stepparent adoption, intervening in a foster care case, or placing a child for adoption, our trusted legal team is here to guide you every step of the way.

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.
  • Agency and Interstate Adoptions: Adopting across state lines? We help ensure full compliance with the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) and coordinate with licensed agencies to complete your adoption properly.
