Adoption Attorney in Twin Falls, ID.

Adoption is a process through which a person or couple takes on the legal and emotional responsibility of raising a child, permanently transferring all parental rights and obligations from the child's biological parents. This process creates a new, legally recognized parent-child relationship, ensuring the child's welfare and stability. Unlike temporary arrangements such as guardianship, adoption is designed to create a permanent change in the child's status, requiring legal recognition and approval from the courts. At Felton & Felton Attorneys, we specialize in guiding families through this complex and rewarding journey. We handle various adoption cases in Twin Falls, ID, and the surrounding areas, including domestic adoption, step-parent adoption, and relative adoption. If you are considering adoption and need expert legal advice, we invite you to schedule a free consultation with us today.

How Does Adoption Work?

Adoption involves a structured legal process designed to ensure the best interests of the child and the adoptive parents. It typically begins with an application and a home study, where prospective parents are assessed for their suitability to adopt. Once approved, the adoptive parents are matched with a child, either through an agency, attorney, or other means. The process then involves the legal termination of the biological parents' rights, followed by a court hearing to finalize the adoption. This court hearing legally transfers parental rights to the adoptive parents, making the adoption official and permanent.
