The primary role of an adoption attorney in the state of Illinois is to perform the required legal work in the adoption process. This work can include filing petitions for adoption or consent to adoption, orders of reference, and interlocutory orders. Once a final order of adoption makes the child the legal child of the adopting parent(s), an attorney can facilitate name changes on birth certificates if that is requested. Adoption lawyers work with both adoptive and birth parents to ensure that adoptions are conducted as quickly as possible and in accordance with state policies and procedures.
There are many different types of adoptions. In some cases, adoption lawyers will assist adoptive families that have already identified a birthmother. In other instances, adoption lawyers assist adoptive families in finding a birthmother seeking to place her child up for adoption. Additionally, adoption attorneys can advise their clients about specific types of adoption such as international adoptions, intrastate adoptions, open adoptions, and closed adoptions. Adoption attorneys also assist their clients with issues related to reproductive technology, such as surrogacy and egg donation.
