Adoption

Adoption is a beautiful journey that transforms lives and creates lasting bonds. At Van Horn & Friedman, we are honored to guide families through the legal intricacies of adoption with care and expertise. Whether you’re adopting a child or formalizing an existing relationship, our dedicated team is here to ensure a smooth and joyful process as you expand your family with love.

Van Horn & Friedman, P.C. handles domestic adoptions and International re-adoptions in New York, along with private placement adoptions, agency adoptions, foster care adoptions, second-parent adoptions, and adult adoptions, and litigation resulting from contested, illegal or improper adoption proceedings. Our attorneys also represent birth parents in the placement of their children for adoption. We are here to guide you through the legalities of this sensitive and emotional process.

Adoption clients receive personalized, on-call service due to the time-sensitive nature of these matters. When nearing placement (or when nearing the placement phase), clients receive 24-hour service.
