you have termination of parental rights
00:06
which has to happen before an adoption
00:08
can take place
00:09
so if you have say a grandparent a third
00:13
party that’s not related to the child
00:15
that wishes to adopt a child the first
00:17
step is you have to determine
00:20
whether
00:21
the parents rights still exist and in
00:23
order for somebody to adopt the
00:25
biological parents rights or the alleged
00:28
parents rights have to be terminated and
00:30
so i have dealt with child protective
00:32
services cases where i represent third
00:35
parties family members where i also
00:37
represent parents where there’s
00:38
termination cases pending and so i’ve
00:41
