Port St. Lucie Adoption Attorney
Making the Choice to Adopt? You Will Need an Adoption Attorney
Adoption shouldn’t be considered without thinking carefully about all of the things that are involved in the process. In some cases, couples seek an adoption due to infertility, which can be very difficult emotionally. If you are adopting after infertility, it may be wise to meet with a therapist to help you work through your grief. Ask yourself the following as you decide if adoption is a good choice for you:
- Do you and your partner feel the same way about adopting?
- Are you fully aware of the struggles, joys, heartaches, and rewards that may go along with parenthood?
- Are you ready to accept the idea of not being able to have children through a physical pregnancy?
- Do you and your partner have a healthy, solid relationship?
- Can you be a parent to a child who has no biological connection to you?
- Will you be able to handle a child’s future questions about adoption?
- Will you be able to handle the possibility that an adoption may cause complicated emotions?
- Do you have any desire to send photos or letters to the birth parents of the child?
