Columbia Attorney Manages the Legal Aspects of Adoption

South Carolina lawyer focused on building families

Adopting a child brings happiness to families, but a biological parent’s change of heart or an immigration setback can turn a joyous occasion into a stressful ordeal. At Brandi L. Small, Attorney at Law in Columbia, I have substantial experience handling the complex legal procedures and frustrating red tape of the adoption process for clients throughout South Carolina. If you're looking to add a child to your family, I'm ready to guide you through the process so you can focus on your new family member.

In my Columbia practice, I help clients with the following areas of adoption:

  • Termination of parental rights
  • Closed adoptions
  • Private adoptions
  • Stepparent adoptions

As your family law attorney, I provide reliable counsel throughout the adoption process.

Careful approach to the termination of parental rights

Stories abound about birth parents challenging an adoption after it is finalized. These well-publicized news accounts reflect a real fear for adoptive parents. The suffering associated with a badly handled adoption affects everybody involved — the adoptive parents, the birth parents and the children who are caught in the middle. I ensure that both the birth and adoptive parents’ rights are respected so that the end result is a final adoption that cannot be challenged. I substantiate that the birth parents consent to the adoption freely and voluntarily to avoid claims of fraud, duress and coercion that can be grounds for restoring a birth parent’s rights.
