Stepparent Adoptions
for Evans & Augusta, GA

If you are looking to adopt a child, more than anything, you want a smooth process so you can bring your son or daughter home as soon as possible. When cases involve children, it is important to choose an experienced attorney that gets results. Shawn P. Hammond and the entire legal staff understand that adoptions can involve grandparents, aunts, uncles, and stepparents in addition to mothers and fathers. 

Adopting a child should bring both you and the child joy and comfort. We work to settle stepparent adoption cases so that everyone involved can be happy. Unless the adoption is contested by a biological parent who suddenly wishes to become involved in the child's life, there shouldn’t be bitter disputes like there might be in many other family law matters. 

If a child does not have a relationship with one biological parent and the other biological parent remarries, a stepparent adoption may be possible. Stepparent adoptions allow the stepparent to become a full legal parent, benefitting the child, the parent and the family as a whole.

We can help you through the process of adopting a child, including the process of terminating the parental rights of the uninvolved biological parent. We provide informative guidance to prepare you for the home study (a report about prospective adoptive parents who wish to adopt domestically or internationally) and represent you before the court at the stepparent adoption finalization hearing.
