Termination, Stepparent Adoption And Foster Child Adoption
Our Plano lawyer, C. “Luke” GUNNSTAKS, represents parents, children and grandparents in termination proceedings that end the legal rights of a parent. Terminating parental rights is often followed by adoption. The typical scenario involves terminating the parental rights of the birth father or mother so that a stepparent can adopt.
