Advising and Representing Families, Agencies and Pregnant Women
Adoption is a very personal decision for everyone involved. For more than 25 years, Eau Claire child adoption attorney Michael F. O'Brien at the law firm of Weld, Riley, Prenn & Ricci, SC, has assisted clients with the adoption process in a caring, confidential and comprehensive manner.
If you come to our firm for assistance with an adoption matter, Mr. O'Brien will explain your options, answer your questions and help you obtain appropriate services tailored to meet your specific needs. We assist clients with a wide range of adoption issues, including the following:
- Stepparent and relative adoptions: Our firm represents stepparents, grandparents and other relatives who wish to obtain parental rights over children in their care. We can assist with termination of birth parents' parental rights and the formal adoption process.
- Agency adoptions: We provide legal counsel and representation to adoption agencies, mothers wishing to place their children with agencies for adoption, and prospective parents wishing to adopt children domestically and internationally through agencies.
- Surrogacy arrangements: Whether you are considering having a child through a surrogate or serving as a surrogate, we will explain your legal options and ensure that your interests are protected in the negotiation and drafting of a surrogacy agreement.
- Unplanned pregnancy advice: If you are facing an unplanned pregnancy, we can provide legal advice on your options — including adoption and safe haven placement — in an atmosphere of sensitivity and respect, with no pressure to make unwanted decisions.
