Albuquerque Adoption ATTORNEY
Helping Build Families in New Mexico
At Sandia Family Law, we can help you realize your dreams of adopting a child. Even though New Mexico favors children having two parents—whether those parents are biological, adoptive or same-sex—you may still face legal obstacles. We can help you with the adoption process to try to make it go as smoothly as possible, whether you’re seeking a step-parent adoption or same-sex adoption.
Contact us now to get started on growing your family through adoption.
Step-Parent Adoption
If the biological parent of your child is not involved in the child’s life, does not exercise visitation or pay child support and you are currently married, your spouse may qualify to adopt your child. Generally, the uninvolved biological parent must consent to the adoption and the relinquishment of his or her parental rights, but there are ways to obtain the adoption without that consent. Step-parent adoption achieves the goal of providing two active and supportive parents for the child.
Call (505) 544-5126 to schedule your consultation with an Albuquerque family law attorney.
Same-Sex Adoption
Sometimes same-sex couples have one biological child between them achieved through artificial insemination. Through adoption, the non-biological parent can become a legal parent of the child gaining all the same rights and obligations of the biological parent. In either type of adoption, the non-biological parent becomes a legal parent with rights identical to those of the biological parent. If later, the union between the parents dissolves, each parent has equal custodial rights.

William Hoskovec is a spectacular attorney.
“William Hoskovec is a spectacular attorney. He's extremely honest with his practices and prices, he took time to answer all my questions as well as made sure I was comfortable going into court by explaining everything. There wasn't a day that I thought he was unprepared or didn't care about my case. He answered all of my family members questions as well, and has been quick to respond to all e-mails even after my divorce was finalized. I'd recommend him to anyone needing a divorce attorney.”
