Adoptions

Adopting a child to build a stronger family or to provide a safe environment for a child in danger can be an overwhelming process for adoptive parents. Each adoption proceeding has its own nuances that require strict attention to detail. If you are seeking to adopt a child, the thorough lawyers at the Law Offices of Ashley Philpot Mattos, can be your advantage in helping to relieve the stress and ensure the process runs smoothly.

What Type Of Adoption Are You Considering?

Our family law attorneys are passionate about helping adoptive parents achieve the joy of adding a child to the family in all manner of adoptive proceedings, including:

  • Relative adoptions
  • Stepchild adoptions
  • Agency adoptions
  • Independent adoptions
  • Open adoptions
  • Interstate adoptions
  • International adoptions

When you work with the devoted lawyers at the Law Offices of Ashley Philpot Mattos throughout the adoption process, you will never be treated as a number. Our client-centered approach to the law is aimed at reducing the stress and anxiety that any family law matter can bring. We know that the decision to adopt may be based upon a wide variety of circumstances. Extended family members may seek to adopt a child whose parents are no longer able to care for the child due to neglect or abuse. We will thoroughly explain the adoption process — and how adoption differs from a guardianship. Our goal is to promote the best interests of our clients and help them make informed decisions.
