New York International Adoption Lawyer
Manhattan Overseas Adoption Attorney
For parents who wish to adopt a child from another country, there are a wide range of international adoption programs. The process of adopting a child can be difficult, especially a child from overseas, and can involve a large amount of paperwork and legal complications. By having an attorney take care of the legal aspects of your international adoption, you can focus on preparation for becoming a parent and welcoming a new addition to your family.
At the Midtown Manhattan family law office of Myburgh Law, P.C., I can explain the process of adoption and guide you through the requirements of U.S. law and the laws of your child’s country of origin. My firm will consider your situation and provide honest advice about your international adoption. With more than 25 years of legal experience, you can trust that I will put your interests first. I represent married, unmarried and same-sex couples in New York City.
Considerations in International Adoption
Once you have determined which country you want to adopt from, and the child you wish to adopt, you are ready to start the application process. Depending on the country, the requirements and the difficulty of completing the adoption may vary. Some countries make the process of international adoption very challenging or have restricted adoptions based on:
- Age requirements
- Marital status
- Income requirements
- Residency requirements
Given my experience and my familiarity with international adoption, I can answer your questions and offer helpful advice about all of these considerations, including the time frame for adoption and applicable waiting periods. I can help you meet what is expected of you before and after the adoption is finalized.
