International Adoption Attorney — Montgomery County
As a parent, I understand the emotions, fears and joys associated with having children. When marriage or domestic partners wish to take the step of adopting — whether it’s step-parent, domestic or international — the occasion is one of anticipation and anxiety.
At the Law Office of Loretta Jean Garcia, located in Bethesda, Maryland, I work closely with my clients to guide them through the legal processes having to do with their adoption. I look forward to helping you further define your family in this positive way. Contact me today to discuss your adoption plans. Call 301-476-4525 or 866-603-9810. Se habla español.

Domestic and International Adoptions
- Lawyers in Maryland cannot find babies or placement services for adoptive parents. Once prospective parents have located a baby they wish to adopt or an adoption service, I am happy to handle the legal aspects of the process.
- The process of adoption itself may take a few months to a year.
- The process for an international adoption can take longer than a year.
Step-Parent and Same-Sex Couple Adoptions
- I handle both contested and uncontested step-parent adoptions in cases of remarriage. This process includes the termination of parental rights on the part of one of the birth parents and may in some cases require paternity testing.
- For same sex couples who wish to adopt, I am happy to provide my legal experience in helping make this important step a happy and smooth one.
Whether your legal issue is work or business related or to do with matters closer to home, you can rely upon the Law Office of Loretta Jean Garcia to efficiently address matters and apprise you of peaceable, money saving options.
