Adoption

Kinard & Kinard Law Firm
Helpful, Experienced South Carolina Adoption Attorneys

35 Years of Experience Helping South Carolinians With Adoption. Adoption is an intricate issue that must be handled with care by an experienced attorney. Whether you are adopting a step-child, a grandchild, other other family member, or if your are interested in a private adoption or a state-assisted foster child adoption, we are experienced and can handle your case. In most instances, we can estimate the costs involved and find the other professionals required by our statutes to finalize the adoption.

At the Kinard & Kinard Law Firm, our lawyers focus our practice on ensuring that adoptions go smoothly. First, we are intimately familiar with the procedures and laws surrounding adoptions. We will make sure that you understand adoption requirements for independent, step-parent, relative, or international adoptions, as well as legal issues involved in adopting from an agency.

Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, we ensure that each party to the adoption understands the adoption. Every parent deserve to be able to have a family, and every child deserves to have a home, but we want to be sure that all parties involved are ready for such a significant step. Both the birth mother and father need to agree to the adoption, and prospective parents need to know as much medical and family history as possible about their new child.

Lead family law attorney Susan Trout Kinard will help you understand the adoption process and make sure that it is the right step for you. Call her at the Kinard Law Firm in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina at (843) 856-6440, or contact an adoption attorney through our web site.
