Adoption is a joyful and life-changing experience, but it also involves a complex legal process that requires careful navigation.

Types of Adoption in Louisiana

In Louisiana, there are several types of adoption, each with its own set of legal requirements. Our attorneys are well-versed in all types of adoption, including:

• Private Adoption: When a child is placed for adoption by their biological parents, the adoptive parents must follow specific legal procedures to ensure the adoption is legally binding.
• Stepparent Adoption: When a stepparent wishes to adopt their spouse’s child, special steps must be taken to terminate the parental rights of the non-custodial biological parent.
• Agency Adoption: Working with a licensed adoption agency requires compliance with strict state regulations to ensure the best interests of the child.
• International Adoption: Adopting a child from another country involves both U.S. and foreign legal systems, making it one of the most legally complex forms of adoption.

At EKF Family Law, we have the knowledge and experience to handle all aspects of adoption, ensuring that every legal requirement is met and that the adoption is completed successfully.
