“When a lawyer is an adoption lawyer, they are a lawyer first…and then they are an adoption lawyer. By that I mean that there are canons of professional conduct. There are duties that are required by law that a lawyer has and must give to that client. By so doing, when a lawyer is working with an expectant, he has to be clear whether he’s representing that parent or representing the adoptive parent. It’s very important for any person who might be unrepresented to make sure that they have access to appropriate counsel throughout the process so that the lines of representation don’t get blurred. A key component of any duty of professional conduct or fiduciary duty that lawyer has, is to make sure that all the parties are represented and empowered and affirmed, especially expectant mothers who are going through this ever so important decision…to be empowered and affirmed to make the best decision for themselves and for that child.” ![]()
