Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: California contested adoption

It sounds as if it would be in the best interest of the child to be adopted by you and your wife rather than by the elderly great grandparents. Therefore you have an excellent chance for success if you were to petition the court for the adoption. You need to hire an attorney immediately to file an appropriate petition to apply as adoptive parents and challenge the pending proceeding. Do not delay as time is of the essence. Call me directly at (619) 222-3504.

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

The facts that you have provided are not clear enough and/or complete enough to provide a definitive answer to you inquiry. It sounds as if you and your wife would be much better candidates to adopt the child; however, time is working against you. Contact an experienced Family Law attorney who practices in the county where the adoption was filed (San Deigo) for specific advice and possible representation on your behalf.
