Are You Growing Your Family?

The adoption process is complex, but working with a domestic adoption attorney can make adding a family member easier. Greenberg & Greenberg assists with domestic adoptions in Garden City, Roslyn, NY and surrounding areas. This type of private adoption, where a birth parent places a child directly with adoptive parents, occurs without an adoption agency's involvement. However, it does still require a home study, filing a petition and a rigorous legal process once the adoption process has begun.

For domestic adoptions, you must submit information to the court for approval.
