Birth Parent Representation
Helping Protect Your Rights
Considering placement of your child for adoption can be an agonizing decision
that few people in your life may understand. Please don't feel like
you need to make this decision alone. It is your right to have in-person
guidance that is free of judgment from a compassionate professional who
can empower you to understand the full range of options available to you
and your child.
At the Law Offices of Deborah E. Spivack, I have worked with many birth
parents like you who are trying to make the best plan for their future
and that of their child. Adoption placement is one of many options that
we can explore together. Placing your child for adoption is a lifelong
decision that warrants thoughtful consideration and candid discussion
with a professional who can help you understand your options and advocate
for your rights.
When you retain my firm, we will discuss the options you have available
to you, including:
- Options and alternatives when facing an unplanned pregnancy
- The types of adoption that exist and may best suit your needs
- Your vision for the type of family you wish to see adopt your child
- The meanings of open adoption and closed adoption, and the range of alternatives
on the spectrum in between
- Your legal rights in your state of residence and in comparison to the laws
of other states
- The legal process for adoption placement, including a timeline of important events
- The option for contact with the child after the adoption or later when
he or she reaches adulthood
- Drafting necessary documentation to achieve your goals
