Adoption

Related Practice Areas

Sometimes, in order to help others, you have to ask others to help you. Nowhere is this more true than in the family law context.

The hoops New Jerseyans are required to jump through in order to adopt a child is not easy to navigate on your own. The Dalena & Bosch team is honored that so many people trust us to guide them through these challenging tasks.

When you are ready to expand your family through adoption, the Dalena & Bosch team is ready to help. We appreciate how challenging it can be to patiently wait for a legal process to play out when you are eager to start a family; so we do our best to make the legal side of the adoption process go as smoothly and quickly as possible.

Our team has experience advising clients in Morris County and beyond on open and closed private adoptions, single parent adoption, stepparent adoption, grandparet or relative adoption, international adoption, and same sex or LGBTQ+ adoption. We know every family is unique, so we do our best to ensure the adoption process fits your lifestyle, not the other way around.

Clients rely on us to help them fill out the mountains of required paperwork and to advocate on their behalf in the courts. We have also helped families prepare for interviews with adoption agencies and in-home visits by investigators. Our years of experience allow us to identify potential red flags and craft a plan to minimize or mitigate problems before they arise.

If you are the parent relinquishing your rights, we can assist you as well. We are compassionate counselors who can protect you and your child from being taken advantage of.

The attorneys on our team are experienced litigators who will fight to protect your interests. We are not afraid to take on challenging cases, such as complex litigation that involves high net worth assets or bitter custody disputes.
