When people think of adoptions, they usually picture a newborn in a
closed adoption by parents who were previously unrelated to the child.
While that is a part of our practice, it’s not the most common form of
adoption. Most adoptions we see happen within families. Grandparent
adoption and step-parent adoption are the most common types of family
adoption. If the grandparents have been a part of the child’s life more
than the parents, they can establish certain visitation rights and custody rights instead of adopting.
Some Facts You Should Know about Colorado Adoption
First, there are no adoptions while the baby is in the womb. According to Colorado law, the baby has to be born.
Adoption usually takes place in two steps. The first step is the
relinquishment of the birth parent’s rights. Once that is done, the
child is free to be adopted by the adoptive parent.
When you start the adoption process in Colorado, it is wise not to
move out of the county. Each county does their own adoptions. If you
move, you may have to start the process over again—file new papers,
have another home study, and so on. If you want the process to go
quickly and smoothly, stay where you are.
