New York Adoption Attorneys
When you are making the decision to adopt a child, you can either adopt internationally (outside of this country) or domestically (within this country). Either way, you will be changing the life of a child for the better. Many children have been awaiting a place that they can call home for a very long time. Whether you are looking to adopt a newborn baby, infant, toddler, school-age child or young adult, you will be changing a life forever.
A New York adoption attorney at the Law Offices of Brian D. Perskin can help insure that you meet the criteria to adopt and can help you make your choice to adopt a reality.
Types of Adoption in New York
When you are making the choice to adopt a child, there are several types of adoption that you can choose from:
- Agency Adoptions: When you decide to adopt through an agency, you can choose either a public agency or a private agency. Public agencies include social services, child welfare and foster care. Private agencies are located throughout different states and foreign countries. You can often obtain information about private agencies over the internet and through an attorney.
- Independent Adoptions: An independent adoption occurs when the birthparent and adoptive parent find each other and make the decision to adopt. This type of adoption may involve step-parent adoption, related family adoption, and grandparent adoption.
