Adoption

At Krigel Nugent + Moore, we have a highly diverse and experienced team of attorneys who are passionate about helping clients pursue the dream of creating or expanding their families through adoption. The adoption journey can be complicated, daunting, and stressful. Whether you are a prospective parent or a birth parent, our adoption attorneys can represent and advise you throughout the legal process in Kansas and Missouri.

Our team handles all types of adoptions, including:

Independent private adoptions

Public and private agency adoptions

Interstate adoptions

Stepparent adoptions

International adoptions

Adult adoptions

Contested adoptions

Second-parent/same-sex adoptions

Surrogacy

Our adoption attorneys also work with clients who wish to pursue assisted reproductive technologies to build their families. In-vitro fertilization (IVF), donor egg or sperm, gestational carrier arrangements, traditional surrogacy, and embryo adoption, among other options. These are all complex processes that require a seasoned attorney who understands the latest advances and can ensure that your rights are protected. In these areas, where real life is often ahead of the law and the legislature, the legal approaches must be as cutting-edge as the technology.

Let our firm help your family grow. Whatever your situation or chosen option, we welcome the opportunity to assist you.
