New York Adoption Lawyer

If you live in the state of New York and thinking about adoption, you need to seek out the advice of an attorney.

Adoption is a very serious step in a person’s life. You will need to know everything about the process before you commit. Adoption can be a long and tedious process. In the state of New York, agencies will not just give out children to anyone. There are hundreds of families seeking to adopt every year. Not everyone will qualify. This can be extremely heartbreaking to parents who want to have children. If you are ready to adopt, first consult an adoption attorney. The will provide you with the information and support you need regarding the process.

The first step in becoming an adoptive parent is finding a proper agency.

You will need to fill out an application and submit it. The next step is the home training process. A caseworker will be assigned to you to help you in the selection process. Once you have a child, it’s not over yet. You will still be monitored for 3 months to ensure that the adoption is a fit for you and the child. The entire process from start to finish could very well take up to 2 years. If you need to know more about adoption, it would be wise to consult an adoption lawyer. They can give you all the information you need regarding adoption process.

If you are planning to go the private adoption route, you will definitely need an attorney from start to finish.

During a private adoption, all birth parents rights are rescinded. There are benefits of private adoptions:

• There is no waiting list and the expectant mother can pull your profile at any time.
• Private adoptions have fewer requirements.
• Lawyers will offer you assistance with profiles and marketing yourself.
• Working with an attorney is far safer.

Adoptions can be difficult on both the birth mother and adoptive parents. As the time grows closer, there can be a lot of anxiety, confusion and reconsideration by the birth mother. It is only natural that the birth mother waffles back and forth on her decision. The adoption lawyer will do everything they can to ensure that the process goes as smoothly as possible.

Adoption attorneys can represent a wide range of people:

• Single people, married couples and same-sex couples
• Birth mothers and parents who have made the decision to place their child up for adoption.
• Stepparents who want to adopt.
• Adoptive parents of a foreign child.

Most adoption lawyers have years of experience in helping to match children with the right adoptive parent. Several agencies have successfully helped thousands of people find children. If you are ready to take that next step, call an experienced adoption attorney now. At the very least, let them counsel you and answer all of your questions and concerns. A good adoption attorney is personally vested in your case and will do everything they can to unite you with the child of your dreams.

There are some international adoption laws that are specific to the state of New York.

Make sure you are fully aware of your rights as an adoptive parent before you take that important step.

Just had my Divorce case settled 2 months ago after having a horrible experience with another firm. I couldn’t be happier with Claire Banks and Elizabeth Garvey with their outstanding professionalism in doing so with Spodek Law Group. Any time I needed questions answered they were always prompt in doing so with all my uncertainties after 30 yrs of marriage.I feel from the bottom of my heart you will NOT be disappointed with either one. Thanks a million.

Alex Zhik contacted me almost immediately when I reached out to Spodek for a consultation and was able to effectively communicate the path forward/consequences of my legal issue. I immediately agreed to hire Alex for his services and did not regret my choice. He was able to cover my case in court (with 1 day notice) and not only was he able to push my case down, he carefully negotiated a dismissal of the charge altogether. I highly recommend Spodek, and more specifically, Alex Zhik for all of your legal issues. Thanks guys!

Believe every single review here about Alex Z!! From our initial consultation, it was evident that Alex possessed a profound understanding of criminal law and a fierce dedication to his clients rights. Throughout the entirety of my case, Alex exhibited unparalleled professionalism and unwavering commitment. What sets Alex apart is not only his legal expertise but also his genuine compassion for his clients. He took the time to thoroughly explain my case, alleviating any concerns I had along the way. His exact words were “I’m not worried about it”. His unwavering support and guidance were invaluable throughout the entire process. I am immensely grateful for Alex's exceptional legal representation and wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled criminal defense attorney. Alex Z is not just a lawyer; he is a beacon of hope for those navigating the complexities of the legal system.

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence. Thank you team!

I can't recommend Alex Zhik and Spodek Law Firm highly enough for their exceptional legal representation and personal mentorship. From the moment I engaged their services in October 2022, Alex took the time to understand my case thoroughly and provided guidance every step of the way. Alex's dedication to my case went above and beyond my expectations. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to mentor me, ensuring I understood the legal complexities involved to make informed decisions. Alex is the kind of guy you would want to have a beer with and has made a meaningful impact on me. I also want to acknowledge Todd Spodek, the leader of the firm, who played a crucial role in my case. His leadership and support bolstered the efforts of Alex, and his involvement highlighted the firm's commitment to excellence. Thanks to Alex Zhik and Todd Spodek, I achieved the outcome I desired, and I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. If you're in need of legal representation, look no further than this outstanding team.
