Though it is a legal proceeding, adoption is emotionally charged. Jeanine understands and is sensitive to the emotions involved for both adoptive parents and birth parents in {CITIES}. She is committed to providing compassionate legal services and is dedicated to the highest standard of legal practice in the field of adoption.

 

Since Jeanine handles only adoptions, she is intimately familiar with all adoption laws and procedures necessary to ensure a successful, secure, and ethical adoption. Jeanine provides a level of insight and experience to each case that surpasses the services offered by attorneys with a more generalized practice, including family law practitioners. She will assure that your adoption is properly handled, strictly in accordance with New York law, whether the child is born in New York or outside the state.

 

Jeanine handles all types of adoptions including private domestic adoptions, agency assisted adoptions and finalizations, and finalizations of international adoption placements. In addition, she routinely represents people in step-parent adoptions, second parent adoptions, adult adoptions, and international re-adoptions. Jeanine's clients include married couples, single men and women, and same-sex couples. Jeanine also represents birth parents in her adoption practice.
