Wheaton Adoption Lawyers

Adoption can be one of the best decisions a family makes. Whether you are adopting a child or an adult, it requires careful legal steps to make sure everything goes smoothly. At O’Flaherty Law, our Wheaton adoption lawyers will guide you through the adoption process from start to finish.

Types of Adoption in Illinois

Illinois law allows for many types of adoption to fit different family needs. Each type has its own legal requirements and process. Some common types of adoption are:

  • Domestic adoption: Adopting a child from within the US.
  • International adoption: Bringing a child into the family from another country.
  • Stepparent adoption: A stepparent adopts their spouse’s child to formalize the relationship.
  • Adult adoption: Individuals 18+ can also be adopted to establish inheritance rights or strengthen family ties.

Our Wheaton adoption lawyers will walk you through the requirements for your situation, so all paperwork and legal steps are done correctly.

Illinois Adoption Law Changes

Illinois adoption law has changed recently and may affect your case. These changes are meant to make the process easier and more protections for adoptive families and children. Some of the changes are:

  • Streamlined background checks: So adoptive parents can complete the process faster.
  • Updated consent rules: Clearer guidelines on when and how birth parents must consent.
  • Changes to adoption subsidies: More financial assistance for adoptive families in some cases.

We keep up with Illinois adoption law, so you don’t have to.
