An adoption creates a legal relationship between the person being adopted and the adopting parent. This gives the benefit of inheritance to the child and provides a means of lifetime care as a legal family member under the family insurance.
Affordable Documentation service offers the complete legal adoption document preparation at reasonable prices. Our team of legal document assistants understands the difference between the different adoption processes and ensures that the correct forms are used for each process.
We prepare the required documents for stepparent adoptions, independent adoptions and adult adoptions.
In this case the child being adopted is usually a minor and the child’s legal rights towards the biological parents are terminated and duties toward the person’s adoptive parent are assumed. The goal of the step parent adoption is to make sure the best interests of the child are met.
In an independent adoption the process begins by filing a petition for adoption in the county where the adoptive parents reside. Investigations are carried out by the department of social services on the basis of which court determines whether or not adoption is in the best interest of the child. Since department of social services is involved with the process, there is additional paperwork required in this process. Our services help you ease out the complexities of the documentation involved.
Any adult may adopt another younger person. In adult adoption neither the consent of the birth parents or the parents to be adopted is required nor is a social service investigation needed. Therefore, this is the fastest adoption process as there is no formal investigation required by the court.
