Experienced Adoption Attorney

Parents who want to adopt a child from Arizona, out-of-state or another country - as well as step-parents who wish to adopt their step-children - must comply with Arizona adoption laws. Mr. Baker can clearly explain the law concerning adoption, assist you in fully completing all required forms, and provide counsel and advice throughout the entire adoption process. He can also help you secure birth parent consent when necessary in step-parent adoption cases.

Mr. Baker can help you work effectively with local or out-of state adoption agencies during the state or international adoption process in order to bring your child home as quickly as possible.

Adoption Laws and Step-parent Adoption

Step-parent adoption involves a divorced parent who has remarried and a new spouse who wishes to adopt a step-child or step-children. For a step-parent to legally adopt a step-child, the other child's other birth parent must be notified. Under Arizona adoption laws, the other birth parent must consent to the step-parent adoption, unless the other parent's parental rights were terminated or if he or she has been declared unfit by the court.

If you want to learn more about the step-parent adoption process, or if you need to know more about the termination of parental rights in adoptions, family law attorney Michael Baker is willing to discuss your situation and explain the law.
