Adoption

At The Law Office of Curtis Bennett Ross, we are experienced Family Law attorneys, representing both adoptive and birth parents. Contact us today to schedule an appointment to discuss how we can help you and your family make a smooth transition in the adoption area.

The first step to adopting a child is to determine whether you meet the criteria. We will assist you throughout the background checks and application process. If the adoption involves a surrogate mother who desires to place her child up for adoption, we must first ascertain if the birth father is going to consent to the arrangement and whether he desires any level of participation in the child’s life.  

The final step will be a hearing, where we will serve as your advocate. If we are dealing with a contested adoption because of the birth father deciding that he wants parental rights, we will diligently represent you in your right to adopt the child.

We also represent birth parents who voluntari ly place their child up for adoption. During this difficult time, we will fully advise the birth parent as to their rights and responsibilities under the law.  

It is important for potential clients to understand that under Illinois law, we are only able to represent one of the parents who is placing their child up for adoption. We have over twenty years of experience in helping birth parents with the voluntary adoption process and appreciate the gravity of such a decision.

The adoption process can be long, arduous, and filled with raw emotion. We will work on your behalf to complete the process quickly so you can start your new life with your new family.
