Child Adoption by a Relative

In Florida, adoption by a relative — aunt, uncle, grandparent, step-parent, or other family member within the third degree of consanguinity — is typically faster, easier, and less expensive than adoption by a non-relative, without the usual home study, background check, or waiting period requirements. We guide relatives through the process, whatever circumstances brought the family to this point.
