Adopting a child is a life-changing event. Adoptive parents have the opportunity to establish a stable, supportive home for a child who may otherwise be without one, which is extremely beneficial to their emotional and social development as they grow older.
Our New York City adoption counsel may be able to assist you if you are considering adopting a child. Our team of family lawyers at Tully Rinckey has the requisite knowledge about the legal nuances of adoption in the state of New York and can help you satisfy the legal requirements. Our objective is to walk you through the entire adoption process and make it as easy as possible for you.
Adoption is the means of establishing a legal relationship between a parent and a child who is not related to promote the child’s best interests. While adoption dissolves legal ties between a child and one or both of their biological parents, it creates new familial bonds for the adopted child.
Through adoption, an adult other than the birth parent becomes responsible for the child’s physical and emotional well-being. Domestic adoptions, through an agency, private adoptions, stepparent, foster, or second-parent adoptions, and international adoptions are just a few of the options available to give a loving home to a child.
Adoption laws vary from state to state, making it vital to have the help of a knowledgeable adoption attorney to guide you through the process. At Tully Rinckey, our lawyers will ensure your adoption is legally sound in New York State and can also help make arrangements for counseling and other services before and after the adoption is finalized.
We will make sure that all your rights are protected since not only do birth parents need to be aware of what it means to terminate their legal rights as parents, but the adopting family should understand the new relationship that they are entering into.

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.
