Adoption

At Ruby & Associates, we understand how important family is to our clients. It’s especially precious to those who are working hard to make their dream of building a family a reality.

For many people, the way to build a family is through adoption. Often that means welcoming an infant into one’s home. It may mean grandparents adopting a grandchild whose parents are no longer able to provide care, or a stepparent formalizing a parental relationship with a stepchild they has come to love as their own. Whatever the situation, adoption provides certainty and continuity for both the child and adoptive parents. For birth parents, adoption can be the reassurance that they have done everything possible to provide a loving, stable home for their child.

Ruby & Associates enjoys helping Ohio families grow through adoption. Because adoption is a lifelong commitment, and because it’s so important to ensure that a placement will be best for the child involved, the adoption process is often long and complex. Our attorneys provide knowledgeable, compassionate guidance through the legal maze, striving to make the process as seamless and stress-free as it can be.

We are available to help our clients with:

• Private or agency adoptions
• Confidential, semi-open, or open adoptions
• International adoptions
• Stepparent adoptions
• Adoptions from foster care
• Surrogacy and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) concerns
• Birth parent services

If you are contemplating adoption, either as a prospective adoptive parent or as a birth parent, you need an attorney who is as committed to the process as you are, and who can give you the answers you need and the support you deserve.

Whatever type of adoption you are thinking of, or if you would simply like to learn more, Ruby & Associates can help you explore options and make the best choices for you and your family. To learn more about how we can help you, contact our office at (330) 867-1405.
