Adoption is a great way to provide a stable and supportive home to a child who may not otherwise have one. Adoption is a life-changing event for both the child and the new parents, and as such, it can be an overwhelming process. Tully Rinckey’s adoption attorneys in Westchester County have expertise you can rely on when navigating the legal nuances of adoption in New York State and can help you satisfy the legal requirements. Our dedicated team of attorneys in White Plains will be by your side throughout the entire adoption process and make it as easy as possible for you.
Adoption creates legally binding familial ties between an adult and a child who are not related, in the pursuit of the child’s best interests. While existing ties between one or both biological parents are dissolved, a new bond with an unrelated parent is formed.
There are many ways to adopt a child. Domestic adoptions facilitated by an adoption agency, private adoptions, international adoption, adopting a stepchild, and adopting a foster child are a few ways that non-related parents can give a child a safe and loving home. In completing the adoption process, the new adoptive parent(s) is making a lifetime commitment to their child’s emotional and physical well-being.
Each state has its own adoption laws. To ensure the smoothest process and avoid any delays in adoption finalization, it is important to have a knowledgeable adoption attorney guide you through the process of adoption in New York State.
At Tully Rinckey, our attorneys will be with you through each step of the process, ensuring your adoption is legally sound in New York State.

Let me begin with my continued respect and heartfelt thanks for all you did for me when a simple divorce spiraled out of control. As wounded as I was, I was painfully aware of the emotional toll the litigation was taking on you too. It was that empathy, accompanied by your phenomenal legal skills that kept me together during what was perhaps the most traumatic chapter of my life. I hope I am able to convey an impression of the depth of gratitude I have for you.

I retained Tully Rinckey PLLC for a child support modification, which became necessary following domestic violence incidents, my own disability as a result, and my children's increased needs. Tully Rinckey PLLC is professional, proactive and, most importantly, does not suffer fools. They focused on the legal arguments of the case and applied appellate decisions which were directly related. Most importantly to me, they took my case personally. As one who has seen many people promised the sun, moon and stars by attorneys who then treat them as a number, Tully Rinckey PLLC was invested in my case from the beginning. They were able to go directly to the heart of the matter without needing to destroy the other party. They kept the focus on my children's needs and, when the other party refused to settle and hired an attorney, Tully Rinckey PLLC went into overdrive making sure my children would get a fair hearing of the facts in court. They kept the main thing the main thing and her arguments on point. They also ensured that my disability accommodations were honored and was sensitive to the needs my disability created, which was incredibly important for my testimony. I have already recommended Tully Rinckey PLLC several times and will continue to do so.

I was represented by Ryan McCall in both custody and support matters. Ryan did an excellent job in both, and we were successful in both. I would highly recommend to anyone in need of great representation to contact Tully Rinckey and speak to Ryan McCall.

I would like to thank you for the wonderful job Tully Rinckey PLLC did on my behalf. In an unusual circumstance where the custody of my daughter changed for a period of 6 months because of Hurricane Irene, they managed to get the entire case dismissed.
