Law Offices of Maria Mota
Children placed in foster care are coming from a crisis situation and one in which the birth parents are not choosing a placement, or cannot fill a placement role. The children have been removed by the government from the parents’ home for reasons that include abuse, neglect by a parent or a death of a parent. Some of these children have never experienced a stable, loving and secure family life. At the Law Offices of Maria Mota we help finalize adoptions in which foster children are placed within the care of family members. Once these family members are ready and able to adopt the child, we strive to finalize adoptions as quickly and efficiently as possible because we understand the emotional and physical impact on foster children and realize the need for stability in a child’s life.

What is Adoption?
Adoption is the formal method of establishing a legal parent-child relationship when the adoptive parent is not the child’s parental or birth parent. When adopting a child, the birth parent is terminating their parental rights and is giving the government the parental rights to the child so that the child can be adopted into a new family. The process involves verifying that the adoptive child is placed in a safe environment that includes things such as background checks, home studies, etc. to demonstrate that the adoptive parent is able to care for the adoptive child.
