When adopting a child, you may choose an independent adoption.  This is a procedure in which the birth mother looks over prospective parents and chooses the parents for her child.  These adoptions can occur very quickly, if the birth mother chooses you as the parents she would like for her child.  In an agency adoption, the agency is in charge of choosing the parents for the child, and the birth mother relinquishes her rights to the agency.  There are other types of adoptions, a majority of adoptions are independent adoptions.  There is a variety of ways that one may write an adoption.  Some birth mothers want a minor role of some sort in their child’s life, and others do not.  Each case must be approached on an individual basis. An experienced Nashville Adoption Attorney can make a world of difference. Step-parent Adoption
