Texas Adoption Attorney
The child protective services agency in Texas is among the most aggressive child protection agencies in the United States, removing record numbers of children from unsuitable homes every year and placing them in foster care. If you have been a foster parent to a displaced minor, you may have the opportunity to legally adopt your foster child. However, the procedures established by the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services can be difficult to navigate. An experienced adoption attorney can help you work within the system to successfully adopt a child.
At the offices of Bobby Barina, Attorney at Law, I have over 15 years experience advising clients in matters related to criminal law, family law and divorce and adoption. I represent individuals and families in central Texas who need legal counsel to complete a foster child adoption. I also handle private adoptions as well as stepparent adoptions. Contact me for a free initial consultation.
If you are a foster parent in Texas and you want to adopt a child that has lived with you, you may have many questions about the process and how it differs from other domestic adoption processes or from international adoption. Will you need to have a home study conducted? Will there be other factors that the court weighs when determining if your proposed adoption will be in the child's best interests? What rights will the birth parent have if the adoption is approved? Will the birth parent be entitled to visitation or any other contact with the child?
At the offices of Bobby Barina, Attorney at Law, I can answer your adoption questions and guide you through the process. If you are aware of a potentially abusive situation, I can also work with you to bring about a legal intervention.
I am Board-Certified in Family, Criminal and Juvenile law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. I accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover. Please contact my offices to schedule a free initial consultation.
