Careful Approach to the Termination of Parental Rights

Stories abound about birth parents challenging an adoption after it is finalized. These well-publicized news accounts reflect a real fear for adoptive parents. The suffering associated with a badly handled adoption affects everybody involved — the adoptive parents, the birth parents, and the children who are caught in the middle. At Sinclair Law Group, PC, we ensure that both the birth and adoptive parents’ rights are respected so that the end result is a final adoption that cannot be challenged. We substantiate that the birth parents consent to the adoption freely and voluntarily to avoid claims of fraud, duress, and coercion that can be grounds for restoring a birth parent’s rights.

Experience with Various Types of Domestic Adoption

An open adoption agreement permits the biological family to maintain a relationship with the child. The terms of the agreement are established by written contract and can include any level of involvement ranging from regular visits to yearly snapshots exchanged by mail. A closed adoption protects the identity of the biological parents and the child but may include disclosure of essential information such as the child’s heritage and medical history. Whichever type of adoption you choose, we meticulously draft a contract that reflects the terms of your adoption.

Capable Assistance with International Adoptions

International adoptions present unique challenges. Also called intercountry adoptions, the process involves a complex web of laws and policies, including those of Texas, the United States, U.S. immigration, the child’s country of birth, and the Hague Adoption Convention. Our attorneys remain by your side through every step to avoid potential problems and smooth the process. Our goal is to help you bring your child home as soon as legally possible.
