Description:
This CLE program will first give an overview of New York laws regarding
domestic private agency and independent adoption. Through the use of a
detailed hypothetical, the panelists will discuss the considerations
from the viewpoint of the adoptive parents' attorney, the birth parent's
attorney, and an agency attorney, covering such topics as: best
practices, what happens if a birth mother revokes her consent, if a
birth father objects to the adoption, and other contested adoption
scenarios.
