Adoption

Erin has handled uncontested adoptions in Cuyahoga County, Lake County, and Lorain County.  When an individual (a step-parent, for example) or a couple adopts a minor child, the parental rights of one or both of the biological parents are terminated.  As is self-explanatory, the legal system does not enter into this lightly and neither should parents.  Adoptive parents become the legal parent of the child as though that child were born to them.  Adoption permanently severs the parental rights and responsibility of one or both biological parents and permanently establishes parental rights and responsibilities of the "forever" parents.

If you would like to discuss building your family through adoption, please contact Armstrong Law Offices.  In the meantime, please visit Adoption Network Cleveland for additional information for birth parents, adult adoptees, parents, and prospective adoptive parents.
