What Is Adoption?

Adoption terminates the biological parents' rights and obligations toward their children and assigns them to the adoptive parents.

The adoption process differs from state to state. The laws of the state where the parent and child reside control the procedure.

If you or a loved one is in need of legal assistance, call the Law Offices of Martin Palmer & Associates at (301) 790-0640 or toll free (800) 255-7914 or submit an online questionnaire. The initial consultation is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds. In many cases, a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
