San Francisco Adoption Lawyer
Certified Family Law Specialist
Did you know, that there are over 110,000 children waiting to be adopted throughout the United States? And, nearly 10% of all children are adopted in California, second only to New York at nearly 11%? *
“My partner and I came to you because our child's school would not recognize both of us as parents. You were able to work with us and help us through the maze of adoption services, interviews and forms. Finally, we invited our friends and relatives to the court on the first day of the year to celebrate the adoption of our child. Thank you again so much!”
—L.B. & T.S., San Francisco
Cheryl Sena knew. Let her expertise help your family grow.
For the family law attorney, adoptions are the most gratifying cases. Bringing parents and children together in "forever families" always bring joy to our hearts.
While our firm does not facilitate finding children for adoption, there are many areas of adoption law where we provide significant help and expertise to our clients.
Whether you have found a child that you wish to adopt and need help with finalizing paperwork. Or, whether you want to make the child already in your life an "official" family member, we can help.
The areas of adoption law in which we provide services include:
- Finalizing California adoptions for clients who have obtained children internationally
- Obtaining legal adoption status for the children of same sex parents who are registered domestic partners with the state of California.
- Legalizing second-parent adoptions for married couples (step-parents) with blended families
- Adult adoptions
