Yes, open adoption is both safe and legal. The legal work is conducted by a qualified adoption attorney and/or a licensed attorney or social worker. Adoption laws are adhered to, allowing you peace of mind that your adoption is safe, legal, and ethical. An attorney in your state will be provided in advance at no cost to you, should you have additional legal questions.

Lifetime has completed thousands of successful adoptions and is a member in good standing of the Better Business Bureau. We are proud to have been providing safe and successful adoptions since 1986.
