ALGBTQ+ Adoption Attorney and

Same-Sex Second Parent Adoption Lawyer

 

We proudly represent LGBTQ+ individuals and couples in creating and expanding their families. While Arizona law does not prohibit adoption by LGBTQ+ parents, unique legal concerns often arise—especially for same-sex couples where only one parent is a biological parent.


One of the most common matters we handle is commonly referred to a a "second-parent adoption." Even if your name is already on the child’s birth certificate, adoption provides the only iron-clad guarantee of full parental rights across all states and in every legal context. Without it, your status could be challenged if the biological parent’s rights are not terminated or your rights are not further solidified by a court order.

 

We also assist with:

  • Stepparent adoptions for married same-sex couples

  • Confirming parental rights after surrogacy or assisted reproduction

  • Navigating interstate recognition of parental rights and the transfer of children across state lines during the process (ICPC)

  • ​

Why it matters: Federal law may (or soon may not) protect your rights in theory, but the safest path is a court order of adoption. Our LGBTQ+ adoption lawyers in Arizona make that happen efficiently and with full respect for your family’s story.
