Experienced Pensacola, Florida, Adoption Lawyer
Adopting a child is both gratifying and meaningful. In the United States, thousands of children without parents yearn for the warmth and security of a loving home. At the law firm of Caryn A. Van Matre, P.A., we feel privileged to play a role in bringing these children and their would-be parents together through adoption.
Helping Clients in All Aspects of Adoption
Caryn A. Van Matre, P.A., is a full-service adoption law firm. We assist our clients in matters related to adoption, such as:
- Stepparent adoptions
- Grandparent adoptions
- Stepchild adoptions
- Foster child adoptions
- Third-party adoptions
- Out-of-state adoptions
- Paternity actions
In the case of stepparent/stepchild adoptions, our firm will try to obtain the consent of the biological parent, but we're prepared to litigate if the biological parent contests the adoption.
In third-party adoptions, we work with the appropriate state agencies to facilitate home studies. These are designed to educate and prepare the adoptive family for adoption, and to evaluate the fitness of the prospective parent or parents.
Focused and Experienced
By focusing on family law matters since 1993, Attorney Van Matre has gained extensive knowledge and experience in the area of adoption.
A Personal Touch
We believe it's important to develop a personal rapport with our clients. Hiring an attorney, particularly for a task as personal and life changing as adoption, requires trust and communication. We'll take the time to get to know you and your unique set of circumstances, and we'll remain accessible through all stages of your case.
Knowledge is Power
We work hard to make sure our clients are informed and that they're prepared for the adoption process. We educate our clients about the processes so they understand their options every step of the way.
If you're seeking to establish parental rights in a paternity suit or if you're interested in adoption, contact our office, located in Pensacola, to arrange an initial consultation at a reduced rate.
