An adoption can be fraught with high emotions and unexpected roadblocks. Explaining the basics of an uncontested adoption and steps that can help keep it that way, this book then discusses the many forms a contested adoption can take.

Even in the best of cases, an adoption involves high emotions and a need for certainty. While the legal guidelines and relevant statutes for a particular case may be clear, there is the potential for pitfalls and challenges throughout the entire process. To make certain that the practitioner's efforts are focused on the best interests of the child, Contested Adoptions: A Legal Guide to All Sides provides guidance, practice commentary, and client-focused insights drawn from the authors' combined decades of practice in the area of adoption law.
