Private Adoptions

Our firm provides birth parents and prospective adoptive parents with the valuable resources that put families together. We advise people on the different aspects of closed and open adoptions. Our firm helps adoptive parents through the legal complexities of the adoption process. With so many families who are able to provide children with a great home and so many children needing those great homes, adoption provides children and parents the opportunity to form a family.

Stepparent Adoption

We help stepparents who wish to adopt their stepchildren. Both parents need to agree to the adoption. If one parent cannot give their consent because they cannot be located, there must be absolutely no attempt to make contact with the child for one year. After that year, the parent relinquishes his or her rights.

Adoption is an exciting step--a time to connect loving parents with kids who need love. Contact the adoption attorney at Kohli & Christie to learn more.
