FAQs

If I match on my own, do I still need an attorney?

Even if a family matches with a birth mother on their own, it is important to get an attorney involved as soon as possible. It’s essential to have an attorney included in the process before any funds are exchanged with the birth mother.

If you match with a birth mother on your own, we are happy to help you take the next step for securing your future family. Contact Mary K. Wimsett and take the right steps in the adoption process.

Can a birth mother change her mind?

A birth mother has the freedom to change her mind at any time during the adoption process. Unfortunately, it can be scary for the adopting family involved. The law in Florida states until the birth mom signs the consent form then nothing binds her to the adoption.

A birth mother changing her mind can be heartbreaking. However, at Law Office of Mary K. Wimsett, we want to empower and grow families. If you’re having trouble understanding the legal side of the adoption process, contact Law Office of Mary K. Wimsett today.

How do Guardianships Work?

Guardianships are initiated by the filing of a petition. For guardianships, it’s actually required in the statute to have an attorney. This is one of the first essential steps when establishing guardianship. Guardianships require filing paperwork with the court which means you need the help of an attorney. If you’re looking to be a legal guardian, contact Mary K. Wimsett at Law Office of Mary K. Wimsett.

Let us help your family through this process.
