What You Need to Know Before Hiring an Adoption Attorney

You are here: Home / Adoption / What You Need to Know Before Hiring an Adoption Attorney

The adoption process is new for many people, and we often help people navigate the confusion related to adoption proceedings. Since it is a legal process, you will need to hire a good attorney to help you with the process and make sure the adoption meets the required laws and regulations. Adoption law is one of the specialities Tony Jarrett, Attorney at Law, is properly trained and experienced in handling. Here are some things you need to know about adoption laws in Utah:
  • Utah adoptions require consent from the following parties:
    • Both parents, or surviving parent of a child who was conceived or born during a marriage.
    • The mother of a child who was born outside of marriage.
    • Biological parent who has been legally declared to be the biological father of the child by the courts, prior to the mother’s execution of consent to adopt or relinquish the child for adoption.
    • Biological parents who execute and file voluntary declaration of paternity with the State registrar within the Department of Health, before the mother’s execution of consent to adopt or relinquish the child for adoption.
    • Unmarried father of the child, only if he complies with requirements to develop a substantial relationship with the child and acknowledges himself to be the father, and initiates paternity proceedings and will support the child.

Paperwork is Essential

All adoptions will include multiple papers to be filled out before the proceedings can move forward. There is a packet of information that needs to be shared with prospective parents. We want to make the adoption process as seamless as possible for you and your family.
