Adoption Is A Complex Process

Completing an adoption involves several participants and requires a certain emotional stamina to successfully navigate through each step. While anyone can informally help or promote the adoption process, a couple or individual who seeks adoption of a minor child needs to do so with the assistance of an agency or an attorney.

I am Carie Ehrenborg, and I have been assisting families in Ohio with the adoption process since 1998. Prior to creating my law firm, Ehrenborg Law Office, I was a staff attorney at Franklin County Children Services. My experience comprises representation in adoptions through public agencies, private and intercountry adoptions. I also represent birth parents considering placing a baby for adoption.  

Dignifying The Journey

Making a child a permanent member of your family is a decision filled with a full spectrum of emotions. Prospective parents may find completing all the forms, fingerprinting, home studies, and state and federal criminal background investigations may find the home study process invasive, and should be assisted through the journey.

Expectant or birth parents who are considering an adoption plan must be treated with due respect and honor for their decision.

I will help you navigate through the complex process with dignity. I will be with you every step of the way.
