Adoption

Adoption is the legal process that allows a child not born to you to become your legal child. Wisconsin’s Children’s Code creates the legal framework for adoptions in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Washington, Dane, Ozaukee, Racine and Kenosha counties, as well as statewide.

Although adoption may seem like a private family affair, it is in fact a complex legal process. Almost every Wisconsin adoption stands to benefit from the assistance and experience of an accomplished Wisconsin adoption lawyer.


Who May Adopt in Wisconsin?

  • Step-parents may adopt their spouses’ children.

  • Single people may adopt.

  • Married couples may adopt.
