About Nevada Adoption

Information Provided by a Nevada Adoption Attorney

The Nevada adoption attorney at Eric A. Stovall, Ltd. understands that adoptions can be a very happy time, but that they can also be a very stressful time. As a member of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys and by serving the adoption needs of families throughout Nevada, including in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Reno, Nevada, our Reno adoption lawyer repeatedly applies the complex Nevada adoption laws to his clients' cases. Our Nevada adoption attorney handles a variety of types of adoptions, including:

  • Agency adoption
  • Domestic adoption
  • Interstate Adoption (ICPC)
  • International adoption
  • Independent adoption
  • Single Parent Adoption
  • Open Adoption
  • Closed adoption
  • Stepparent Adoption
  • Contested adoption
  • Grandparents custody rights, grandparent representation, grandparent visitation
  • Paternity
  • Surrogacy
  • Child Placement
  • Foster Parent Rights
  • Termination of Parental rights
  • Mediation
   

Since adoption involves the termination of parental rights of at least one parent, adoption can be a very personal issue and you need a caring attorney that empathizes with the emotion involved in the case and has the sensitivity to address your case accordingly. Adoptions fall into two main categories, including voluntary adoptions and involuntary adoptions. Voluntary adoptions are ones in which the biological parent(s) voluntarily give up their parental rights to the child(ren). This then allows for a qualified adoptive parent to adopt the child. Alternatively, involuntary adoptions involve lawsuits that seek to involuntarily terminate the biological parent(s) rights to the child(ren), often for the safety of the child(ren). Our law firm is not an adoption agency and we do not locate children for adoption purposes; we represent one of the parties to the adoption.
