Our specialized areas of practice for domestic adoptions include:

Matching and Placement Services

Our law firm provides assistance with the matching of birth mothers and adoptive parents.

Identified Adoptions

We assist in completing adoption plans for adoptive parents who have identified their own birth mothers.

Interstate Adoptions

If either the birth mother or the adoptive parent(s) reside outside of the state of Florida, we comply with all requirements of the Interstate Compact for the Placement of Children (ICPC). We have completed hundreds of interstate adoptions.

Stepparent Adoption Services

We have over 25 years of combined experience in adoptions that involve a stepchild. We have the ability to handle these cases in a prompt, efficient manner. Affordable flat fees are available for these services.

Grandparent Adoptions & Family Adoption Services

Shorstein & Kelly have assisted hundreds of grandparents adopt their grandchildren. Additionally, a relative related to the child to be adopted within the third degree (give us a call & we will explain) can utilize the same expedited adoption process that is available for stepparent adoptions. Affordable flat fees are available for these services.
