Disclaimer

General information only

This website explains how adoption, stepparent adoption and surrogacy generally work. It isn't legal advice and shouldn't be used as a substitute for it. The law changes and differs from state to state, and your facts matter.

No attorney-client relationship yet

Reading this site, calling the office or sending a message doesn't make Pehrson Law your lawyer. The relationship begins only when you and the firm both sign an engagement agreement. Until then, nothing you tell us is protected the way a client's confidences are.

Confidential details

Please don't send confidential or sensitive information, such as names of children or birth parents, through the contact form or by email before we've spoken and signed an agreement.

Past matters and reviews

Descriptions of sample cases and comments from families are illustrations. Each family's case is different, and none of them predicts the outcome of yours.

Not an agency

Pehrson Law is a law office. It isn't an adoption agency or a fertility clinic, and it doesn't find, match or place children, birth parents or surrogates.

Attorney responsible

Rebekah Pehrson is the attorney responsible for this website.
