Why Adoption Makes Sense

We’ve represented numerous grandparents, aunts, and uncles in adoption cases. When a delinquent parent or bad home situation leads a concerned relative to consider adoption, it’s important to know the law is on your side. If you adopt a grandchild, niece or nephew, the law recognizes your rights in regard to the following:

• The adopted child is eligible for insurance coverage through the adopting parent.
• The adopted child gains inheritance rights through the adopting parent.
• The adopting parent can make important legal decisions relating to schooling.
• The adopting parent can also make critical decisions regarding the child's medical needs.

The Best Interest of a Child

Earlier in his career, Christopher A. Wood represented parents interested in challenging the removal of their custody rights. After witnessing the often personal, self-interested motives involved on the part of absent and uninvolved parents, Mr. Wood dedicated himself to helping children find caring, loving environments in the homes of concerned relatives.

Now, informed by knowledge of the tactics and legal arguments made by those challenging an adoption, our law office won’t be out maneuvered or caught off guard. Committed to preventing problems before they arise, we identify and remove custody issues up front so they won’t become a problem later.
