Managing the Legal Aspects of Adoption

Adopting a child brings happiness to families, but a biological parent’s change of heart or an immigration setback can turn a joyous occasion into a stressful ordeal. Many step-parents wish to acknowledge the relationship of the child of their spouse by the formal process of adoption and need assistance in approaching the biological parent for consent. At Hays Johnson Law PC in Minot, North Dakota, I have years of experience handling the legal procedures of the adoption process for clients in North Dakota. If you’re looking to add a child to your family, or acknowledge the child that you have treated as your own for years, I’m ready to guide you through the process so you can focus on your new family member

In my practice, I help clients with the following areas of adoption:

• Stepparent adoptions
• Termination of parental rights
• Open adoptions
• Closed adoptions
• Private adoptions
• Domestic adoptions
