Steven W. Lazarus, Services for Adoptive Parents

Steven completes each adoption as if it were his own.

Knowing the very personal nature of adoptions, Steven sits down in person with all prospective clients, and not only explains his services but also offers the opportunity to make sure he is the right fit for them.

Steven works with a limited number of adoptive parents at a time, thus enabling him to focus on their particular needs and to increase the opportunity for a quick and successful match with a birth mother.

Steven prepares the legal documents, closely evaluates each situation, fully advises his clients on potential issues in the adoption, provides outreach and other resources, and performs all legal work toward the finalization of the adoption.

Steven guides the adoptive parents through the entire process, holds their hands and offers a shoulder when needed, and gently attempts to ease any stress that may arise. Steven will only refer other needed professionals that share his sense of compassion, responsibility and reliability.

Steven handles all forms of adoption, including independent and agency adoptions; intrastate and interstate adoptions; stepparent and second parent adoptions; foster adoptions; special needs adoptions; and adult adoptions.
