Hausmann & Hickman, P.A. is a Florida law firm devoted exclusively to adoption and reproductive law. Our board certified Florida adoption attorneys bring more than 25 years of experience to this work and have helped create over a thousand families through adoption and surrogacy across the state. From our offices in Lake Worth (Palm Beach County) and Plantation (Broward County), we guide birth mothers and adoptive families through private adoption with compassion, discretion, and careful attention to Florida law.

Although our offices are located in South Florida, we serve clients throughout the state, whether you are in Palm Beach County, Broward County, Martin County, or anywhere else in Florida. Every conversation with our firm is strictly confidential, and all services for birth mothers are provided at no cost. Below you will find the counties and communities where families most often work with us, along with links to local pages that explain how private adoption works in each area.

Palm Beach County

Palm Beach County is home to our Lake Worth office and has been the heart of our practice for more than two decades. Our Palm Beach County Adoption Attorneys assist adoptive families and birth mothers in communities from the coast to the western reaches of the county, handling private adoption placements, stepparent and relative adoptions, and related family-building matters. Through our private adoption placement program, birth mothers here choose the adoptive family and decide how much contact they want before and after birth, all outside the Department of Children and Families (DCF).

Because so many of our clients come from Palm Beach County, we maintain dedicated local pages for the cities and towns we serve there. Each page explains how private adoption works in that community and how to reach our team:

We also serve Briny Breezes, Cloud Lake, Glen Ridge, Golf, Jupiter Inlet Colony, Manalapan, and every other community in the county — if your town is not listed above, call us just the same.

Broward County

Our Broward County office at 8201 Peters Rd., Suite 1000, Plantation, FL 33324 allows us to meet with birth mothers and adoptive families close to home anywhere in the county. The Broward County Adoption Attorneys at our firm handle private adoption placements, stepparent, relative, and adult adoptions, interstate adoptions under the ICPC, and gestational surrogacy matters for Broward families. Birth mothers in Broward receive the same no-cost, around-the-clock support we are known for in Palm Beach County.

Whether you live near the coast in Fort Lauderdale or Hollywood, or in a western community such as Weston or Coral Springs, our team is easy to reach and every conversation stays confidential. Explore the Broward communities we serve:

We also serve every other Broward County community, including Lauderdale Lakes, Cooper City, Dania Beach, West Park, Wilton Manors, Lighthouse Point, Southwest Ranches, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Pembroke Park, Hillsboro Beach, Sea Ranch Lakes, and Lazy Lake. Wherever you are in the county, our team is a phone call away at 561-732-7030.

Martin County

Families along the Treasure Coast also turn to our firm for help with private adoption. The Martin County Adoption Attorneys at Hausmann & Hickman, P.A. work with birth mothers and adoptive families in Stuart, Palm City, and the surrounding communities, offering the same private, personal approach we provide throughout South Florida. Adoptive parents on the Treasure Coast, including LGBTQ+ couples, single parents, and out-of-state residents, receive step-by-step legal guidance from consultation through finalization in court.

We do not maintain an office in Martin County, but our attorneys regularly represent Treasure Coast clients from our Palm Beach County and Broward County locations, and much of the process can be handled by phone and secure communication.

Our Martin County practice also serves Sewall’s Point, Ocean Breeze, and Rio, along with every other community on the Treasure Coast.

Adoption is both a legal process and a deeply personal journey, and the right guidance should honor both. Our attorneys explain each step in plain language, keep your information private, and move at the pace that fits your circumstances rather than ours.
