Adoption Lawyer Las Vegas

Support Through Every Step

Adoption is one of the most meaningful experiences a family can navigate but it also involves detailed legal requirements, court procedures, and strict timelines. Mabel Law Group provides steady, supportive guidance to help families understand each step and complete the process with confidence and clarity.

Whether you’re expanding your family through a step-parent adoption, adopting a relative, or working with an agency, we’re here to ensure your adoption is handled with care, accuracy, and respect.

Understanding Adoption in Nevada

Nevada adoption laws require specific filings, background checks, termination processes, and approvals before an adoption can be finalized. While the steps can seem overwhelming, we break them down so families know exactly what to expect and how to prepare.

The court’s primary focus is always the best interests of the child, and we help families present clear, organized documentation that supports a stable, loving, long-term placement.

Types of Adoption We Support

We assist families with a wide range of adoption matters, including:

Step-Parent Adoption

A common path when a new partner is raising a child and wishes to formalize the relationship. These cases often involve terminating the parental rights of a biological parent who is no longer involved.

Relative / Kinship Adoption

Grandparents, aunts, uncles, or other relatives may adopt when parents are unable to provide care. These cases often overlap with CPS or dependency matters, which we can help navigate.

Private or Agency Adoption

We support families working with adoption agencies or private birth parents, ensuring all legal requirements and consents are properly handled.

Termination Requirements

Before a child can be adopted, the parental rights of the biological parent(s) must be voluntarily relinquished or legally terminated.
We help families understand what the court requires and guide them through each step of the process.

Court Filings & Finalization

From petitions to hearings, background checks, and final orders, we assist with all required filings to ensure your adoption is legally complete and recognized in Nevada.
