Setting Up Adoptive Families for Success

November is National Adoption Month, a time to celebrate adoptive families, raise awareness for youth looking for their forever families, and promote the need for more adoptive homes. National Adoption Month highlights the beauty of adoption and recognizes the incredible South Florida families who have opened their hearts and homes to adopt. It is an occasion to encourage more Floridians to consider adoption as a way to make a lasting difference in the life of a child.

Every November, we encourage people to learn about adoption and our adoption services. Sara Horowitz PA is dedicated to ensuring that every child can build a life of happiness and well-being. One of the most gratifying aspects of maintaining my Family Law practice is helping to grow and establish families through adoption. Sara Horowitz PA works hand-in-hand with adopting families throughout the entire process of adoption in Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

In my extensive experience providing adoption services that cover case management, legal support, education, and training, I work closely with the adoptive parents to ensure that the process is handled smoothly. I will assist in the formal adoption, including obtaining consent from the natural parent(s), filing the necessary paperwork with the court, searching the Florida Putative Father Registry, finalizing the adoption before the court, and obtaining the child(ren)’s new birth certificate.

This month especially, I encourage anyone who is considering adoption to take that loving step forward and build your family through adoption by adding profound meaning to your life. Whether you are married, single or a member of the LGBTQ+ community looking to adopt, I can help you on your journey. I handle the following types of adoption matters throughout South Florida:

■ Stepparent adoption
■ Second-parent adoption
■ Relative adoption
■ Adoption through foster care
■ Adult adoption

Strengthening pathways for adoption helps create lifelong relationships and meaningful connections. No two adoption stories are the same, but you can glean value from hearing about others’ experiences. Peruse adoption success stories from Sara Horowitz PA clients here.
