Biological Parental Rights in Florida

One of the preconditions to legally adopting a child is terminating the parental rights of the biological parents. Parental rights may be determined through parentage court proceedings.

In simple adoption cases, a proceeding for terminating the parental rights of the biological parents is often uncontested. However, more complicated adoptions, such as step-parent, grandparent, and agency adoptions, may require legal representation from an adoption attorney with a sophisticated understanding of Florida adoption laws.

Can You Adopt Someone Over 18 in Florida?
