Adoption 
Parents To Be
One in five couples of childbearing age encounter problems trying
to conceive a baby. Many of these people experience years of
expensive, frustrating, and even humiliating medical testing just to experience
the joy of being a parent. All too often their efforts to conceive
ultimately end in failure. Their only alternative is to consider adoption.
Unfortunately, as the numbers of infertile couples desiring children have
increased, the number of babies available for adoption have dramatically
decreased. Nowadays, the number of available babies has become limited for
a variety of reasons. In days gone by, many more babies were available as
the result of the social stigma attached to unwed mothers who chose to put their
baby up for adoption, rather than face public scorn. Today, that stigma has all
but disappeared. In addition, single parenting has become a widely
acceptable option throughout our society. Years ago, 60-70% of unwed
mothers chose to put their child up for adoption. Today, even though
abortion has become legal, only one in three unmarried women choose that option.
The remainder choose to become single parents instead.
There are also many occurrences where people who can conceive or who might already have children
may wish to adopt a child for any number of reasons.
Whatever your reasons for seeking adoption, The Law Offices of David P.
Ginzberg can provide the services necessary to ensure that the process goes
smoothly, and that all of your legal concerns are adequately addressed.

my child be abused? Will my child be loved? Will
my child be treated as a member of the family by the whole family? How
will I be perceived by others? We will provide you with
straight-forward answers to all your questions and do everything possible to put
your mind at ease.
Basic
Types of Adoption
The adoption of a child is the most important legal proceeding in which a
person can ever engage. As such, proper legal advice is essential. This is true
no matter which type of adoption is being pursued. The Law Offices of David P.
Ginzberg
can properly advise you regarding all aspects of adoption. Call us today, 24/7 Toll-Free: 1-800-611-0142
or send an e-mail now.
The basic types of adoption are (1) domestic agency adoption, (2) domestic
independent (non-agency) adoption, and (3) inter-country adoption. Within
domestic agency adoptions, the subcategories are public agency adoption and
private agency adoption. While inter-country adoption can be either agency
adoption or independent adoption, it is useful to keep it as a separate category
since it is unique in many ways.
When children of another country are adopted by citizens of the United States,
the controlling law is the law of the child's country of origin. Normally, the
adoptive parents will receive a final decree of adoption granted in the foreign
country by the court or other authority which grants such decrees under the
foreign country's laws. A few countries have systems which confer legal
authority on the adoptive parents to finalize the adoption in the courts or the
home country of the adoptive parents.
In either of the above scenarios, the action by the foreign country, which
results in making the adoptive parents the legal parents of the child, does not
serve to make the child a U.S. citizen. Consequently, a visa must be obtained
for the child to enter the United States. In addition, the child must go through
the naturalization process in order to become a U.S. Citizen.
From a legal point of view, every case must be either an agency adoption or
an independent (non-agency) adoption. What makes a case one or the other is the
way in which the parental rights pass from the birth parents to the adoptive
parents. In an agency case, there are two steps. First, the birth parents'
rights are relinquished to an agency. Second, the agency consents to an adoption
by a particular adoptive parent or parents. In an independent adoption, there is
only one step. The birth parents give consent directly to a particular adoptive
parent or parents.
