Let Denali Help Welcome The Newest Family Member
Our firm handles adoptions, stepparent adoptions, second-parent adoptions, services to birth mothers, foster adoptions, interstate placement, and more. We help you navigate through the legal technicalities of the adoption process while being committed to your needs.
- In Alaska, children at least ten years of age must consent to the adoption.
- To be eligible to adopt in this state, a prospective parent can either be single, married, or in a committed relationship and pass a criminal background check. Eligibility is based on a person's ability to successfully parent a child, rather than their income, marital status, age, race/ethnicity, or lifestyle.
- Adoptions involving children with Native American heritage may be subject to the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). Adoptions involving more than one state adhere to the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC).
- Finalization after placement consists of several post-placement visits. After these visits have been completed, the adoption finalization hearing will be held in a local courthouse.
Don't go through the adoption process alone. Allow our firm to help you welcome new addition to your family. We can make the legal process go much faster and smoother and resolve any issues that may come up.
