Jacksonville Adoption Lawyer

At the Law Offices of Robert P. Morrow, Jr., P.A., we are fully versed in complex, out-of-state adoptions involving the termination of parental rights of multiple partners; as well as step-parent adoptions, which are more straightforward.

Complex, out-of-state adoptions involving termination of parental rights require coordination among Florida Department of Children and Families, and the applicable foreign state department charged child welfare.

The complexity of a non-step-parent adoption in part depends on whether or not the precise location and cooperation of each possible parent is readily known. In addition, a home study is required, which includes an evaluation of the prospective adoptive home and parents.

If a biological parent’s spouse wishes to adopt a step-child, the adoption procedure is much more straightforward, provided the other biological parent is cooperative. A home study is still required.

Due to both biological children and foster care children having been severely abused within the State of Florida, to the point of death, the Florida adoption statute has undergone extensive revision and changes in almost every year over the past decade.

Attorney Robert Morrow has accomplished many adoptions and is able to put his skills, experience, and knowledge to work for adoption clients in the most efficient manner possible; while also providing a high level of personal client contact.
