What are the Different Types of Adoption?

Adoption is a multifaceted journey, offering several avenues for creating or expanding your family. Our team is well-versed in the intricacies of various adoption types, ensuring that you receive tailored advice to suit your unique situation best.

  • Domestic Adoption: This adoption involves adopting a child within your country. Domestic adoptions can be facilitated through adoption agencies, legal professionals, or even direct arrangements with birth parents. Our Jackson adoption lawyers will guide you through the legalities, paperwork, and procedures.
  • International Adoption: International adoption refers to adopting a child from a foreign country. This process often encompasses international treaties, immigration requirements, and cultural sensitivities. Our extensive experience enables us to navigate the complexities associated with international adoption, ensuring a smooth and informed journey.
  • Stepchild Adoption: Stepchild adoption occurs when a stepparent seeks to legally adopt their spouse's child. This type of adoption necessitates the consent of both biological parents and may involve the termination of the noncustodial parent's rights. Our team will expertly manage the legalities of stepchild adoption to safeguard your family's interests.
  • Relative Adoption: Kinship adoption, or relative adoption, involves adopting a child within your extended family, such as a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or sibling. Relative adoptions provide a sense of continuity and comfort for the child. Count on us to guide you through the legal aspects of relative adoption.

    “Chinn & Associates will be my first choice”
    When I found myself needing a divorce lawyer, my first and only call was to Chinn & Associates. From the onset, Mark told me not to worry, he had my back. It is pretty much impossible for me to not worry, but Mark was correct, he had my back. He and his staff were always prepared and kept me informed of what I needed to know. Janeah was an angel with a big sword, especially during the mediation process, working passionately to get me the best possible result. Mark and Janeah guided me through one of the most difficult and uncomfortable periods of my life, and I will be forever grateful for their hard work and support. While I hope I never need their services again, if I do find myself in this situation again Chinn & Associates will be my first choice for representation.

    “He was a steady voice of reason during an emotional time”
    I highly recommend Mark. He brings decades of experience and highly credible counsel. He was a steady voice of reason during an emotional time for my family. He stays close to his clients and is quick to respond. I always knew he was "on it." He partnered with my family to the very end of what turned out to be a longer than expected process. The outcome was worth the wait. I can't recommend him highly enough.
