Courts consider the bond between
parents and children a strong one. but
occasionally allow that bond to be
broken Among the ways this can be
done is through adoption.
Adoption is a court action that
ends the parental rights of one or both
parents and gives those rights to an ­
other adult or adults. After an adop­

considered the child’s natural parents
even if they divorce.
Adoption can be done with or
without consent from one or both
natural parents. W ithout consent, the
natural parent or parents must be
given notice of the adoption, either by
personal service of publication. It’s a
good idea to use a lawyer because it’s
im portant for adoptions to be done
correctly.
If som eone’s trying to adopt your
child without your consent, you’re
entitled to a court-appointed attor-

already been ended, your consent is
