A Better View

It's time to debunk another adoption myth! ❌ Myth #2: You can't adopt a child that you know. ✔️ If you know the child via being a neighbor or family member, the court may actually prefer you. They want the child to have a supportive adult that he or she may previously know. There are training and foster parent licensing requirements, but a relative placement or close kin placement is often preferred to provide stability for the child or children. If you are looking for a reliable, compassionate family law attorney to help you through the adoption process, call STG Divorce Law at 630-864-6099. #stglaw #divorcelawyer #divorce #familylaw #divorceattorney #familylawyer #lawyer #divorcesupport #attorney #divorcerecovery #divorceadvice #adoption #adopting #adoptiontips #adoptingtips

Introducing Anique Drouin, one of our amazing partners at STG Divorce Law! 💬 Anique says, "When people learn that I am a family law attorney, occasionally an awkward silence follows, along with, 'That must be really hard. How do you do that work?' The answer is simple. Guiding people through a major transition in their lives while making the process less painful for them, and, most importantly, for their children, is rewarding. Navigating the court system can be tricky enough. Add in the powerful emotions that come with a family dispute and you need an informed, empathetic, yet cooler head on your side. That’s me. My skills in the courtroom, and as a certified Mediator and Collaborative Practitioner, have earned me the distinction of Leading Lawyer for several years." We are so thankful to have Anique on our team of legal advisers. We know you'll love working with her as much as we do! #stgdivorcelaw #stgdivorce #stglaw #divorcelawyer #familylaw #divorceattorney #familylawyer #divorcesupport #divorcerecovery #divorceadvice #coparenting #divorcecommunity #lifeafterdivorce
