The Adoption Process
The state of North Carolina places a high priority on the well-being of children. Before a court will approve an adoption petition, it must be convinced that it is in the "best interest of the child."
Denise M. Gold can explain the adoption process to you. Then she can prepare the petition and any supporting documentation. Following the filing of the adoption petition, the North Carolina Division of Social Services will schedule a home visit.
Ms. Gold can explain what this involves and prepare you to make a favorable impression during this visit. The goal of our firm will be to achieve your adoption as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Contested Adoptions
When the biological parent of a child is still alive, that parent must give up his or her parental rights. Our firm represents both biological and adoptive parents in cases involving contested adoptions. We will work vigorously to protect your rights and pursue your goals.
