Adopting a Child in Colorado

For soon-to-be parents about to go through the adoption process in Colorado, it is essential to understand the requirements. Moreover, depending on the type of adoption you are pursuing, these requirements may differ.

For example, if you are seeking to adopt your spouse’s children, so you can expand your role as a parent, you will either need the consent of the child’s other parent or you can take the matter to court where a judge will decide if the other parent’s rights should be terminated.

Below are some other forms of adoption our Denver adoption attorneys can assist you with:

• Adoption from foster care
• Private domestic adoption
• International adoption

In Colorado, the following people may adopt a child:

• Those who are at least 21 years of age
• If approved by the court, a minor may adopt
• A married couple may jointly adopt a child
• An individual who wishes to adopt an adult as their heir

Additionally, an extensive home study process must be completed, using the Structured Analysis Family Evaluation (SAFE) instrument.

Below is some of the information that may be collected during this process:

• Marital relationships
• Social background and history
• Motivation for the adoption
• Extended family relationships
• Parenting style and abilities
• The social and physical environment of the home

Bringing a child into your life is a major decision that can fulfill your life and the life of a child. You can trust in our team to help make it happen.
