Adoption

Because the laws concerning adoption, guardianships, and child welfare are complex, it is extremely important to seek the assistance of an adoption lawyer when a child’s mother or father is no longer capable of providing necessary care—no matter the circumstances.

Hester and Hester is knowledgeable in state and federal adoption laws and applies that knowledge on behalf of clients from throughout Atlanta, and the State of Georgia. As a firm, they are skilled in handling the often complex procedures and requirements involved in adoption and guardianship issues such as:

• Private placement adoptions
• Independent adoptions
• Step-parent adoptions
• Relative (non-parent) adoptions
• Adult adoptions
• Relinquishments of parental rights
• Terminations of parental rights
• Guardianships for relatives

In all of these matters, the well-being of a child should be given the highest priority and a guardianship and adoption attorney from Hester and Hester can ensure that the child is placed in good care and that all custody matters are resolved and legally blinding.

They have more than 26 years of legal experience handling these concerns and have helped a wide range of people— parents, grandparents, stepparents, and others—reach successful outcomes in both adoption and guardianship-related issues.
