That's great, ****! If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask. It's important to understand these processes thoroughly.
Well I’m located in a different state than the family adopting my child and their attorney is wanting to contact mine about a criminal case separate from the adoption and I’m not comfortable with that
I understand your discomfort, ****. You have a right to privacy. However, if it's related to the adoption process, it might be necessary. You should discuss this with your attorney and see how it can be handled in your best interest.
