About Our Adoption Law Firm

Since 1998, Mark R. Miller, Esquire, has helped over 400 families grow through adoptions. While the vast majority of his adoption practice is focused on domestic private adoptions and helping birth parents find the best families for their children, he is also experienced in step-parent adoptions, domesticating foreign adoptions and foster-to-adopt adoptions.

As an adoptive parent himself (international and domestic), Miller knows the trials and tribulations of living through an adoption. Helping the birth parents and prospective adoptive parents communicate fully during the adoption process assures the least amount of complications.

Over the years, Miller, an AV Preeminent rated attorney for over 25 consecutive years, has also developed a specialty in assisting other adoption attorneys and adoption agencies with “complicated” or “disrupted” adoptions. Adoption litigation is a complex sub-specialty of adoption law and Miller draws from his years of experience as a criminal defense trial lawyer and family law attorney to provide legal assistance to “troubled” adoptions. This sub-specialty typically involves addressing claims by birth parents that their consents were wrongfully obtained, but a growing area of adoption litigation now involves claims by birth fathers claiming their rights have been wrongfully terminated.

What many people don’t know is that if the State has opened a dependency case against you regarding your children and

a)  it doesn’t look like you are going to be able to complete your case plan,

b)  the State has indicated they are going to seek to terminate your parental rights, or

c)  the facts of the case are pretty clear that they are going to terminate your parental rights,

you can always elect do start the Intervention process with us. That is when we would help you locate a family that wants to you adopt your child or children and we help them Intervene into the DCF case and allow for a private adoption. It is always best to do this early in the dependency case so the children have as little disruption as possible.
