Child Adoptions and Adoption Laws

Over 130,000 children are adopted in the U.S. each year. You could say it’s become quite a popular way to grow a family. When considering adoption, it’s important to understand what the process entails. Understanding third-party vs. stepparent adoption is also crucial.
