Adoption & Child Custody

Atlanta Adoption & Child Custody Lawyers

Experienced Adoption Attorney in Atlanta GA and Surrounding Areas

Adopting a child is one of the most exciting and life-changing things a family will ever experience. In Atlanta, it’s also a complicated legal procedure; it involves paperwork, court proceedings, and a myriad of additional legal steps before an adoption will be finalized. If you are considering adopting a child, we highly recommend talking with one of our Atlanta adoption attorneys.

Trying to navigate the Georgia adoption process without a skilled, experienced adoption lawyer by your side can quickly become overwhelming, and the family law attorneys at Kitchens New Cleghorn, LLC bring decades of experience helping families grow.


The Process of Adopting a Child in Georgia

The process of adopting a child in Georgia is designed to place children with families qualified to provide a safe, nurturing environment. While the length of the adoption process varies based on the circumstances of each individual case, it can take months or even longer to complete. Adoptions in Georgia involve a seven-step process that includes orientation, family evaluation, training, and more designed to make sure families are prepared to take a new child into their home. Once all the processes and paperwork are complete, a Superior Court judge from Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett or Cobb County – or whatever appropriate Georgia County the action may be filled in – will make the final decision to finalize your adoption.

At Kitchens New Cleghorn, LLC, we work with traditional families, non-traditional families, single parents, and every other type of family. Our caring adoption lawyers in Atlanta have decades of experience guiding families just like yours through the legal process quickly and thoroughly. We handle the legal details of adopting your child so you can sit back and prepare for your joyous arrival.

With so much at stake, it’s critical that you have an experienced adoption attorney in Atlanta to ensure every step of the process is legally sound. Kitchens New Cleghorn’s family law attorneys will work hard to finalize each detail so you can focus on your growing family.
