Adoption is a wonderful thing for married couples, in fact it’s available to all people, married or unmarried, who cannot conceive. It’s also an excellent way for same sex couples to enjoy parenting. A widow or a widower may opt for this route; or the spouse of a person who has children from a previous marriage. This can be one of the most rewarding and fulfilling things to do. People who have an abundance of love to share and give to a Child can accomplish this by adoption and it is certainly an awesome thing to do; unfortunately all too often people don’t do it because they do’t know where to start and it seems too difficult. Martin Vermaak Family Law Attorneys often help people who have thought it impossible for them to adopt.
It’s a long and complex road and there can be complications but to an Attorney it’s a normal and familiar part of Family Law. A Family Law Attorney can turn your complicated road into a streamlined process. For Martin Vermaak Attorneys, it’s a straightforward part of Family Law with which they are acquainted and comfortable in undertaking. In South Africa it’s a legal process regulated by the Children’s Act. The existing parental authority – held by a mother or father – over the child becomes terminated and awarded to the new adoptive parent(s). Once the adoption process is completed the adopted child then becomes – to all intents and purposes – the child of the adoptive parent.
