Adoption Attorney in Huntsville, Alabama

Types of Adoption We Handle

Yarbrough Law Firm assists with step-parent adoptions, relative adoptions, private infant placements, and foster-care finalizations. Many local families in Huntsville, Madison, and nearby areas complete step-parent adoptions when a parent has long provided care and wants legal recognition. For agency or private placements, we coordinate with licensed providers and ensure consents are properly executed.

The Alabama Adoption Process

Most cases begin with a petition, consents from biological parents, and, when required, a home study. We prepare filings, handle notice requirements, and represent you at hearings in Madison County Probate Court. For interstate placements, we guide you through ICPC steps so travel and timing are managed correctly. Families in neighborhoods like Hampton Cove, Jones Valley, and Madison City can expect clear timelines and checklists so documents are complete before court.

When a child needs permanency, we explain consent and home study steps, set a plan, and keep your case on track.

How Yarbrough Law Firm Supports You

Adoptions are joyful but paperwork heavy. Our team tracks deadlines, verifies consents, and resolves issues like absent-parent notice or termination of parental rights when abandonment or unfitness is alleged. If adoption is not yet possible, we can discuss temporary options in Guardianship to keep a child safe while long-term plans develop. You can explore related matters within Family Law to see how adoption intersects with custody or name changes.

Step-Parent and Relative Adoptions

When a step-parent or grandparent has provided day-to-day care, the court may streamline requirements if the other parent consents or has abandoned the child. We assemble school, medical, and support records to demonstrate stability and best interests. Our firm works with families across Redstone Arsenal-adjacent neighborhoods and the UAH community to finalize adoptions efficiently.
