Adoption
While adopting a child can be an immensely rewarding experience, it is often accompanied by a host of legal and bureaucratic complexities.  Those who approach the process with the aid of a knowledgeable attorney find that they are relieved of much of the delays, frustration and expense it often entails.

The essential requirement for adoptive parents is that they accept adoption as being absolutely irreversible.  Domestic adoptions are not subject to widespread legal challenges, but it is not impossible for birth parents or birth relatives to initiate proceedings to revoke an adoption.  And, non-traditional and LGBT families should be particularly focused on how to protect their parental interests.
