Missouri Adoptions by Relatives & Non-Relatives

There are two categories of adoptions: adoptions by relatives and adoptions by non-relatives.

Adoptions by relatives are often by a step-parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle, or other family member.
Adoptions by non-relatives typically involve a public or private agency or some other third independent party.

Once an adoption is finalized, the adoptive parents will have all of the rights and responsibilities any biological parent would.

If you are interested in adopting, we invite you to contact our firm to discuss which adoption avenue is best suited for you.
