Private or Independent Adoptions
In private adoptions, the birth mother, and sometimes the father as well, chooses the family that will adopt their child. This process is generally facilitated by an adoption professional, typically an attorney, and will likely also involve an adoption agency.
Although Wisconsin does not require an attorney for an adoption, almost all prospective adoptive parents consult with an attorney. Stephen Hayes, Molly Jasmer, and Erin Fay’s decades of experience as Wisconsin adoptions attorneys will keep the private adoption process as uncomplicated and expedited as possible. They have helped hundreds of couples with adoptions throughout southeastern Wisconsin.
Why choose private adoption?
Children involved in a private adoption process are less subject to the potential emotional trauma of longer-term state or foster care. That said, private adoptions can be more complicated, and a skilled adoption lawyer can greatly simplify the process.
Private adoptions are usually, but not always, more expensive than public adoptions. An attorney can help you estimate in advance how expensive your private adoption will become. A Wisconsin adoption attorney can also help you weigh the costs and benefits of a private versus a public adoption.
