Long Island adoptions Lawyers

Adoption can be defined as the legal process by which a legal parent-child relationship is created between individuals: not biologically parent and child. And when an adoption is finalized, the relationship of the adopted child with its biological parents is severed, and the adopted child becomes the child of their adoptive parents.

U.S. citizens who are unable to have children, or who wish to adopt for other reasons, face great difficulties in finding U.S. born children to adopt. Almost all the adoption agencies have experienced a steady decline in the number of children available for adoption. People are increasingly turning to international adoptions, from countries such as Russia, Romania, China, Ecuador and Korea.
