In most cases, we represent the adopting parents, but sometimes we are hired to represent the birth mother.
In each case, California law requires that the birth mother be offered separate legal counsel of her own, to look after her interests. She is not required to have a lawyer, and may waive legal counsel, but she must be  offered legal counsel at no expense to her, in each case.
Although California law allows one lawyer to represent both the birth mother and the adopting parents simultaneously, this is quite controversial and not something that coincides with our core values. As such,  we will not handle “dual representation” cases.
