Adoption Attorney Legal Services

Adoption of a child is the legal process by which a parent - child relationship is created between persons not related by blood, or related by blood in a relative child adoption. The adopted child becomes entitled to all the privileges of a child born to the adoptive parent.

In the State of Florida, a child may be adopted by:

• A husband and wife jointly;

• An unmarried adult; or

• A married person without the other spouse joining as a petitioner, if the person to be adopted is not his or her spouse, and if:

• A married person without the other spouse joining as a petitioner, if the other spouse is a parent of the person to be adopted and consents to the adoption;

• A married person without the other spouse joining as a petitioner, if the failure of the other spouse to join in the petition or to consent to the adoption is excused by the court for good cause shown or in the best interest of the child.

Under current Florida Law, adoption of a non-blood related child is prohibited if the adoptive parent is a homosexual.
