We often hear from people who have put off exploring adoption because they assume the process will take many years.

However, this is not necessarily true. The timeline can vary depending on the type of adoption you are pursuing. Domestic infant adoption typically takes several months to two years when working with reputable adoption professionals. Foster care parents choosing adoption generally takes around nine to 18 months from start to finish. International adoption tends to take longer than national adoption, often upward of two years, due to additional paperwork and travel requirements.

What makes the biggest difference in your timeline is preparation, working with experienced professionals, and understanding the specific legal requirements in your state. An adoption attorney can help you avoid unnecessary delays, ensure all documentation is in order, and keep the process moving as efficiently as possible.

If you have questions about what the adoption process looks like for your specific situation, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to help you every step of the way.

One of the most common misconceptions we see as family lawyers is that you must be married to adopt a child.

This is not true. Single individuals are legally permitted to adopt in all 50 states. What courts and agencies are looking for is not a specific family structure but rather your ability to provide a safe, stable, and nurturing home for a child. So, marital status alone does not determine whether you qualify.

If you have been holding back from exploring adoption because you thought you did not meet the requirements, we encourage you to reach out. The answer may surprise you. We are here to help.

We often get questions from clients about why people might opt for mediation over litigation. So today, we wanted to take a moment to share some common reasons why people who need a conflict legally resolved choose mediation. Mediation can work faster than litigation, save money, and consistently resolve conflicts.

Here are some of the most common reasons people use mediation:

🔹High likelihood of settlement - "Historical data shows that approximately 78% of mediation cases ended in settlement, whether the parties chose mediation or were court-ordered to mediate."

🔹Faster resolution - Court cases can drag on for months or years, but most mediations are scheduled and completed quickly. Depending on your case, the conflict could be resolved in as few as one or two sessions.

🔹Cost savings - Parties often prefer mediation because it avoids the high costs typically associated with the litigation process.

If you are curious about how mediation could help you resolve any legal conflicts you are facing, do not hesitate to call us. We are here to help guide you through this process.

In reality, decisions involving the custody of shared children are handled separately and are ultimately determined based on the child’s best interests at the time those decisions need to be made.
