Austin Adoption Lawyers

Texas Child Adoption Services Law Firm

Making the decision to bring a child into your home through adoption is one that will change the dynamics and history of your family tree. It is exciting and results in more love than you probably can imagine. Adopting is also a choice that brings many legal steps that can become complicated and frustrating. At Bertolino LLP, we have experienced adoption attorneys in Austin, Houston, and San Antonio who will work with you to streamline the adoption law process in a way that saves you time, money, and stress.

We are available to help stepparents, grandparents, relatives, and single parents through the adoption process. If you are planning a stepchild, relative, or other domestic adoption, our lawyers will be by your side for the background checks, home studies, and parent evaluations. There is also a great deal of paperwork to be completed once the approval to adopt has cleared the legal channels, and our attorneys will be there to guide you through this effort as well. We will make sure the child's name is legally changed, update birth certificate and school registration records, and get the child properly identified with the Texas Bureau of Vital Statistics, and other important agencies.

Our adoption lawyers know that there are real human stories behind every adoption. Many of our attorneys, who work in our adoption division, have worked as guardian ad litem, meaning they have acted on behalf of children in court situations. They know how to handle these family matters with sensitivity and concern for the most important people involved in the process—the kids.

The time during which a new child enters your family is an emotional one and you understandably want to focus your attention on the people you love and the home you are creating. With an experienced family law attorney handling your case, you will not have to worry that a small legal detail will be overlooked and your case will be put in jeopardy. Give yourself the peace of mind of having an adoption lawyer by your side.
