Adoption lawyer: Legal assistance in the process of establishing parenthood
Making the decision to adopt a child is undoubtedly difficult. But once the decision is made and you start wondering, “Where do I go? Where do I start?”, the assistance of our family law attorney will be crucial. For some prospective parents, it is advisable to begin the adoption process not with gathering documents, but with a visit to a psychologist. Adoption of children in Kharkiv (or guardianship) is no easy task—it is only within reach for those who are well-versed in the matter.
If you have questions regarding guardianship and custody of a child in Lviv, an adoption lawyer will provide qualified legal assistance. The professional attorneys at our firm offer a full range of adoption services, including expert consultations and representation in court. The law firm “Femida” offers highly qualified legal assistance in adoption at every stage of the process.
According to current legislation, children under the age of majority are eligible for adoption, in their best interests, to ensure stable and harmonious living conditions. When reviewing applications, guardianship authorities take into account the likelihood of ensuring the child’s full development.
- physical development
- psychological development
- moral and ethical development
Children eligible for adoption include those whose parents have passed away, are missing, have been deprived of parental rights, or have become incapacitated.
By hiring a lawyer from our firm, you will receive expert advice, the necessary knowledge for this situation, and professional support in the adoption process. By involving a qualified specialist, you can be confident that the case will be resolved in a positive manner.
After discussing and agreeing on all the details, the adoption lawyer will draft a contract for handling the case throughout the entire process, up until you are legally recognized as the adoptive parents. It is important to note that the specialist can assist only with legal matters and, by law, cannot act as an intermediary. Therefore, your active participation is crucial, as prospective adoptive parents are required to:
- meet the child and try to establish a trusting relationship with them;
- provide written confirmation that you have reviewed the child’s health assessment;
- jointly with the lawyer review the documentation prepared for the court hearing;
- be personally present at the adoption hearing.
Qualified lawyers will obtain and provide you with information about the child’s relatives and other circumstances to help avoid any contentious issues in the future.
