ADOPTION IN MARYLAND

RESOURCE INFORMATION FOR DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN ADOPTIONS
 

____________

    You have reached the Web site of Ellen Ann Callahan, Attorney at Law.   I created this Web site for people who are considering the adoption option, either as adoptive parents or birthparents.  I am a practicing attorney in Maryland who has represented birth parents, adopting parents, children, and adoption agencies in the adoption process.

          This site provides useful resource information on domestic and foreign adoptions, Maryland adoptions, adoption agencies and resources, adoption support groups, adoption attorneys, and adoption laws.  

     This website is not intended to give legal advice but to provide basic information about adoption in Maryland.   If you are considering adoption, it is important for you to obtain legal representation to advise you about your particular adoption situation and to protect your legal rights.  You may wish to browse through the website of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys (http://www.adoptionattorneys.org) for an  informative article about the role of an attorney in the adoption process.

    Please let me know what you think about my Web site.
