Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Re: adoption

Hi,

I am an adoption attorney in New York City. My practice is focused on domestic (private and agency), foster care, international, and stepparent adoptions. I would be happy to help you with your adoption. From your email it sounds like you are interested in doing a stepparent adoption. The process requires filing various petitions and affidavits with the court and appearing in court for the finalization of the adoption. One issue that you have to deal with is the birth father--does he consent to the adoption? Do you have contact with him? In order to answer your question with more detail, I need to know his situation and status. Please feel free to contact me. I can set up an initial consultation with you for no charge. Thank you.
