Types of Adoption in Tennessee
Some of the primary types of adoption include the following:
- Stepparent adoptions: When a stepparent wishes to legally adopt their spouse's child, creating a formal parent-child relationship. These adoptions often involve terminating the parental rights of the non-custodial parent and require specific documentation to demonstrate the stepparent's commitment to the child's wellbeing.
- Relative adoptions: Also known as kinship adoptions, these cases involve family members, such as grandparents, aunts, or uncles, legally adopting a child.
- Independent adoptions: These adoptions occur when birth parents and adoptive parents connect directly, often through personal networks or referrals, rather than through an agency. Independent adoptions require careful attention to legal requirements and proper documentation to ensure all parties' rights are protected, and the adoption is legally sound.
- Agency adoptions: Working with a licensed adoption agency to match prospective parents with a child. Agency adoptions involve comprehensive home studies, background checks, and detailed placement procedures, and our attorneys can work closely with the agency to ensure all legal requirements are met throughout the process.
