Rhode Island Adoptions for Non-Residents
Greenwood & Fink (G & F) is a law firm whose focus is adoptions for same-sex couples who don't reside in Rhode Island. The couples may be having their own birth child, using a surrogate or adopting a child already placed with them. If you adopt in Rhode Island you will receive a decree listing both partners as parents. If you are able to give birth in Rhode Island, you will also receive a birth certificate including both parents.
G & F provides all legal services necessary to complete your adoption. G & F can further provide access to obstetric and pediatric medical services, first-class accommodations in a fabulous downtown Providence (the Renaissance City) location, social services, concierge services and other resources such as lactation consultants and visiting nurses. Our goal is to make your stay in Rhode Island legally effective and in all other aspects, personally satisfying.
Please note that the RI Supreme Court licenses all lawyers in the general practice of law. The court does not license or certify any lawyer as an expert or specialist in any field of practice.
