Welcome
With more than 30 years of experience in adoption law, Robert H. Klima is recognized as one of the most qualified adoption attorneys in Virginia. Since 1993, he has been a fellow of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys, a national association of approximately 330 adoption attorneys who practice adoption law extensively or have otherwise distinguished themselves in the field of adoption law. Congress and other regulatory agencies often look to the Academy and its fellows when passing new adoption related legislation.
A Leading Virginia Adoption Lawyer
With a law practice focused on helping clients to build families through the process of adoption, Robert H. Klima has handled more than 1,200 successful adoptions since beginning his practice of law in 1978. Because of his depth of knowledge and experience in the adoption field, he frequently receives referrals from other local attorneys and members of the Academy. Mr. Klima is recognized for his work in:
- Stepparent adoption: When a parent has remarried and would like his or her new spouse to adopt the child or children
- Parental placement adoption: When a birth parent chooses the adoptive family directly
- Agency adoption: When the child has been placed with the adoptive family by either a private agency or Department of Social Services.
- Interstate adoption: When a child is being placed for adoption across state lines, the Interstate Compact on Placement of Children must be complied with.
- International adoption: When a child has been adopted in a foreign country, a Virginia Order of Adoption and birth certificate may be obtained.
- Foster parent adoption: When foster parents want to adopt their foster children
In addition, because of his extensive litigation experience, Mr. Klima has been called upon to try contested adoption cases throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. Contact our Manassas and Fairfax adoption lawyer to learn more about our services.
