There are many ways to create a family through adoption:  Private-Placement Adoptions, Agency Adoptions, Foreign Adoptions, Step-Parent Adoptions. A good adoption attorney will understand the complicated rules of each method of creating a permanent family, and will offer not advice, but information sufficient to assist families in making their own decisions on how to create a family. Understanding the Law of Adoption both in the State of New York, and having experience with interstate adoptions and adoption rules regarding the Interstate Compact on the Transfer of Children between states is essential.

 

In New York, a state favorable to adoptions, it is mandatory to follow the rule of law, it is necessary to seek counsel of an experienced attorney.  Lynn Baronti is both an experienced adoption attorney, and an adoptive mother.  This is a unique perspective, and one that is appreciated by our clients.
