Offering Second Parent Adoption Services
At Katine Nechman McLaurin, we take advantage of our backgrounds to help clients understand the logistics behind second-parent adoptions. This legal process allows same-sex couples to adopt their partner's adopted or biological children. Ultimately, the adopted children will gain two legal parents. Both parents will be legally recognized to have the same rights and responsibilities.
Second-parent adoption can help preserve the non-biological parent's right in Texas, if the domestic partnership dissolves. At Katine Nechman McLaurin, we will address all of your legal concerns, while helping you efficiently move through the adoption process. Stephany Alvarez handles second parent adoptions at our office–call her at 713-808-1000 to schedule an appointment to discuss your case.
