Adoption cases are among the happiest cases we handle at The Barbknecht Firm, P.C. We help families navigate the complex adoption process and do all the legal paperwork that makes a child theirs forever.

We've all heard of cases where families have lost children who have been living with their adoptive families for years due to mistakes in the adoption process. One of our jobs as adoption attorneys is to ensure that a full and final termination of the biological parental rights is made so there is a greatly reduced chance for anyone to come back later and make a claim (valid or invalid) to a child in your home. We also make sure all appropriate Texas approvals are obtained. By helping families mitigate and minimize risks, we can take a joyous occasion for families and help ensure that it stays that way.

Stepparent Adoptions
We also help stepparents adopt the children for whom they are already serving as role model and care-giver. Stepparent adoptions are often called adoption-terminations, since the biological parent's rights need to be terminated first before the stepparent can adopt the child.

Adoption-terminations are appropriate in cases where the biological parent is not involved in the child's life and does not want to pay child support. In cases like these, an adoption-termination brings legal standing to a parent-child relationship that already exists.
