What are adoption laws in Columbia?
If you and your family have made the decision to welcome a child into your family, you may be unsure how to move forward. There are several requirements that must be fulfilled, and it is imperative that you understand how the adoption process works to avoid risk. Any resident of our state can petition the court to adopt a child, and children will only be placed in homes with South Carolina residents, except for special circumstances, such as in the case of special needs children, children who are being placed with a relative, or when an adoptive parent is in the military.
Contact an attorney from our firm today for more information about adoption. We are proud to serve Columbia area families in this important issue, and you can be confident that the adoption of your child will be handled with the greatest of care and as quickly as is possible.
