The word "family" has many different meanings in today's society. No longer is the term only applicable to a mother, father and their children. In reality, families are units of people who care for and love each other. Families take care of each other. And these definitions apply to a wide variety of people and groups. Maybe you are a stepparent who has assumed parental responsibilities for your spouse's child. Perhaps the biological parent is unavailable or unable to participate in the child's life. Or maybe you are a foster parent who has become the primary caregiver for a child and the child's biological parents are unavailable or unable to provide for the child's best interests. Whatever your family definition, Albano Law can help make your relationship a legal reality through the process of adoption.
