Birmingham Uncontested Adoption

Uncontested Adoption Cases

Before a child can be adopted in an uncontested adoption case, both biological parents must consent to the adoption. When the birth parents agree to the adoption, it is considered uncontested. The biological parents will no longer have parenting rights, legal rights or even the right to visit the child. Any financial support of the child by one or both biological parents will also come to an end. The adopting parent(s) will assume full responsibility for the child's health, safety and well-being. This includes cases relative and non-relative adoptions. A Birmingham adoption lawyer from The Wheeler Firm can provide legal advice and representation in an uncontested adoption.

The laws that pertain to a given adoption will vary somewhat depending on the case. Many nonrelative adoptions will involve an adoption agency and will require a placement investigation. In uncontested adoptions, written consents will typically be prepared and submitted to the court for approval. The written consent must follow the format laid out in the state's adoption guidelines, but should typically include the date, place, and time that the consent to adoption was executed, the date of birth of the adoptee, the relationship of the person consenting to the adoption and many other relevant points that must be stated.
