Experienced Adoption Attorney in Glen Burnie, Maryland
Adoption can be a happy proceeding that adds a son, daughter, brother, or sister to a family. The adoption process can also be complicated and contentious. An experienced attorney can guide you through the legal steps necessary while avoiding potential pitfalls and complications.
Because adoptions terminate the parental rights of the natural mother and/or natural father, it is very important to be certain that no details are left unaddressed. At Timothy J. Mummert, P.A., we offer experienced counsel to individuals and couples in Maryland seeking to adopt. Your lawyer can help ensure that all the necessary documents are in order and that the process is followed in accordance with the law.

Comprehensive Adoption Guidance and Representation
We provide personal attention and individualized solutions that protect our clients interests and those of the child being adopted in a full range of adoption cases, including:
- Independent adoptions
- In-state adoptions
- Out-of-state adoptions
- International re-adoptions
- Step-parent Adoptions
- Grandparent/family adoptions
- Adoption for same-sex couples (LGBT)
- Contested adoptions
Your attorney can advise you as to the best course of action in difficult cases, such as those in which consents are difficult to obtain because the natural parents cannot be found or needs an attorney or mental health counseling.
At the conclusion of the adoption, the State of Maryland will issue a new birth certificate listing you and/or your spouse or partner as the parent or parents. With new tax credits available you may also be eligible for a tax credit of up to $11,000.
