Intra-Family Adoption in Louisiana: You're Not Alone—Oriol Law Firm Is Here to Guide You

When family steps up, love fills in the gaps—and at Oriol Law Firm, we’re honored to walk beside you as you turn that love into something permanent. Whether you’re a grandparent, an aunt or uncle, or a step-parent, we’ll guide you through every step of the intra-family adoption process.

What Is Intra-Family Adoption?

Intra-family adoption is when a relative adopts a child they already have a meaningful connection with.  For an intra-family adoption to occur, the biological parent must have their parental rights terminated, which can occur if that parent has not provided support or visited the child for more than six months. Intra-family adoptions are a way to provide stability, safety, and love for a child. 

These situations are deeply personal, and the legal path to adoption is anything but simple. That’s where we come in.

How Oriol Law Firm Helps

Intra-family adoptions can involve:

• Navigating complex agency or court procedures

• Ensuring the termination of parental rights is complete and legally sound
