The following is a simplified overview of how the process of adoption in Nevada generally progresses:

  1. Official court forms to initiate the adoption in Nevada must be completed.
  2. Once these have been thoroughly reviewed and at least two copies of them have been made, these forms should be filed with the court.
  3. The birth parents should be served (by a third party) with the Adoption Request form.
  4. Once the birth parents have consented to adoption, the prospective adoptive parent(s) will go through the investigation and interview process. This can include in-depth background checks, meetings with a court official, etc.
  5. A court date for the adoption hearing will be set.
  6. During the hearing, all of the adoption paperwork will be reviewed to determine whether or not the adoption should be approved.

It’s important to point out that:

  • Complications can arise during any of the above-mentioned steps.
  • International adoptions will typically involve far more steps than simply those explained above.
  • Regardless of whether an adoption involves a child in the U.S. or abroad, having the Right Lawyers represent you will be essential to successfully completing the adoption with minimal delays or potential headaches.
