In any adoption situation, there are several things that must be done, including terminating the biological parents' rights, serving notice upon the appropriate parties, and filing an adoption action with the Family Court.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
