Adoption
Adoption can be a bewildering experience. Minnesota’s
leading treatise on adoption opens with the statement, “Adoption
is a complicated area of the law and legal errors
can result in devastating consequences.” Amy
M. Silberberg, Minnesota Adoption Law And
Practice, First Edition (1999).
Our firm will guide you and your family through
your adoption, making the process as smooth and
brief as possible.
Our primary adoption attorney, Jeffrey W. Hane,
understands agency adoption–he and his
wife are adoptive parents through two separate
agency adoptions. Further, we have experience
in the full range of adoption scenarios:
- Agency
adoptions
- Step-parent adoptions
- International adoptions
- Confirmation proceedings
(of foreign adoptions)
- Terminations of parental
rights
- Relative adoptions
- Contested adoptions (competing
petitions)
- ICWA (Indian Child Welfare Act) and
ICPC (Interstate Compact) issues
BSSM&A will work with the courts, social
workers, agencies, and other key people
to make your adoption a success. We can
even provide
representation in direct placements.
Adoption fees are based on our standard
hourly rates. For subsidized adoptions,
our firm
is almost always able to work with families
to
stay with the subsidy guidelines and
help you obtain
your subsidy.
