Any Tennessee resident would agree that an adoption comes as a blessing to a childless couple. Nothing can be more blessed than holding a little one in your arms. And today, Tennessee residents have the option of attempting international adoptions, as well as national adoptions. There are many federal and state regulations that govern an international adoption. Most of these regulations are in the best interest of the child. Any couple, who wishes adopt internationally should speak to an experienced attorney who can help the international adoption process.
Most children who are adopted in foreign countries are initially adopted in their own countries. The same child is re-adopted when the same family flies back to the United States. So, for a couple who has adopted a child in a foreign country, the Law Office of Steven C. Girsky will first look at the Tennessee adoption because the firm has a lot of experience handling state adoptions.
International adoptions are done through the agencies that are licensed in the country’s Department of State. The agency and the parents should complete the adoptions in the own country first. The parents, who are adopting the child, should arrange for a special immigration visa and then bring the child back to the country. Once, in the U.S., the Tennessee international adoption attorney will formulate the guidelines for adoption. This is done in the best interest of the child.
An experienced attorney understands that each international adoption case is unique. A few adoption cases happen very quickly, while a few others take time. This is because many loose ends need to be closed. An experienced adoption attorney can help develop the necessary timeline for how long an adoption could take and guide a couple through the process.
