Finding an Attorney to handle your Foster Child Adoption
In the last 45 days I have gone from fostering a almost six year old boy to being his adoptive mother. This process moved faster than I expected. There are foster families in the county that I am from that should have completed the adoption process for the children in their homes long before I did. It all has to do with the attorney you have representing you. All children in foster care in Catoosa County, Georgia have as their legal council a local attorney by the name of Jennifer Hildebrand Ms. Hildebrand s a local law office and handles divorce cases, custody cases and adoption cases. Yes, adoption cases. Since she represents the children in their DFCS cases she is familiar with the system and the local judges. I signed adoption papers with DFCS on February 2nd and on February 18th my final adoption decree was granted, less than 3 weeks later. There are other families in the area that have signed papers with DFCS in December that are still waiting for their court dates. I am thankful that I chose Ms. Hildebrand as my attorney.
