Handling Domestic Independent Adoptions
(Private Adoptions)

In most domestic independent adoptions, or private adoptions, adoptive parents work to locate an expectant parent on their own without working directly with an agency. Because there is generally no agency involved in the process, it is important for you to work with an experienced adoption lawyer who can help you navigate the complex process.

Adoption attorney Sherriann H. Hicks, of The Hicks Law Group, can help you screen potential adoptive situations, answer your questions about the process and handle all the necessary legal paperwork required in this type of adoption. She has devoted her legal career to helping adoptions proceed as smoothly as possible for families and has advised countless adoptive parents through domestic independent adoptions, helping them welcome children into loving families.
