Adoption

Adoption

At Johnson, Chiligiris, & Weatherford we help families obtain the dream of having children or fulfill the necessity of bringing a family members’ children into your household. The adoption process can be difficult to navigate without experienced counsel. We understand the steps needed to be taken to terminate parental rights of the biological parent and demonstrate that the best interest of the child should be placed in your hands. Questions that will need to be considered are as follows:

  1. Is DCFS involved?
  2. Have the parental rights of the biological parents been terminated?
  3. Is this an agency placement?
  4. Is the biological parent a family member?
