For more than 25 years, Hausmann & Hickman, P.A. has practiced one kind of law: adoption and reproductive law. That singular focus has helped us build over a thousand families across Florida, and it is now available to birth mothers and adoptive parents throughout Martin County and the Treasure Coast. From Stuart to Indiantown, families here deserve the same caliber of adoption counsel found anywhere in the state, delivered with warmth and without pressure.

Ours is a statewide practice. While our offices are located in Lake Worth in Palm Beach County and in Plantation in Broward County, our Martin County adoption attorneys routinely represent Treasure Coast clients, and much of the adoption process can be handled by phone and secure correspondence at whatever pace suits your life. Whether you are an expectant mother considering your options or a couple hoping to welcome a child, we would be honored to help you find your way forward.

Private Adoption in Martin County

Choosing private adoption in Martin County means choosing a process built around the people in it rather than around an institution. Our firm operates a private adoption placement program that thoughtfully pairs birth mothers with adoptive families, and because the program is private, it proceeds entirely outside the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF).

What sets this path apart is who holds the decision-making power. The birth mother is the one who selects the family for her child. She also determines the shape of the relationship, including how often she communicates with the adoptive parents during pregnancy and what kind of contact continues once the baby is born. Our job is to translate those wishes into a sound legal plan that satisfies Florida law at every step.

Discretion matters just as much on the Treasure Coast as anywhere else, and perhaps more so in close-knit communities. Every aspect of private adoption in Martin County through our firm is treated as strictly confidential, from your first phone call through the final court hearing.

Guidance and Support for Birth Mothers

An unplanned pregnancy can make the future feel uncertain, and sorting through your options should never add financial strain to emotional strain. For that reason, everything we do for birth mothers is provided at no cost. There is no fee to talk with us, no fee for the guidance, supportive services, and resources we provide, and no obligation to move forward simply because you reached out.

We also know that questions do not keep business hours. Our team is available around the clock, so you can reach us whenever you need reassurance, information, or simply someone to listen. If you decide adoption is right for you, we will help you review adoptive families, express your preferences about communication and contact, and put a plan in place that reflects what you want for your child. If you decide it is not right for you, we will respect that completely.

Building Your Family in Martin County

Adoptive parents on the Treasure Coast are often unsure where to begin. Beginning is easier than you might think: a single consultation lets us learn about your hopes, answer your questions, and map out how private adoption in Martin County would unfold for your household. From there, our placement program and proactive outreach to birth mothers create opportunities for a match that feels right on both sides.

Our doors are open to every kind of family. LGBTQ+ couples, single parents, and out-of-state residents are all welcome in our practice, and we handle stepparent adoptions, relative adoptions, adult adoptions, and gestational surrogacy arrangements in addition to newborn placements. Whatever route your family takes, our Martin County adoption attorneys prepare the documentation, keep the case compliant with Florida law, and stand with you in court on the day the adoption becomes final.

Why Choose Our Martin County Adoption Attorneys

Board certification in adoption law is held by only a select number of attorneys in Florida, and it signals a demonstrated mastery of this specialized field. Our attorneys carry that credential, and they carry something equally valuable: the perspective that comes from more than 25 years of adoption work and from helping create over a thousand families. When questions arise in your case, and they often do, you want counsel who has seen the situation before and knows how Florida law resolves it.

Experience alone is not why families stay with us, though. Clients on the Treasure Coast choose our Martin County adoption attorneys because we explain each step before it happens, return calls promptly, and treat both birth mothers and adoptive parents as people, never as case numbers. Adoption is a legal process and an emotional journey at the same time, and good counsel honors both.

Frequently Asked Questions About Adoption in Martin County

Do you handle adoptions outside Martin County?

Yes. We serve clients throughout Florida, whether you are in Palm Beach County, South Florida, or anywhere else in the state, and we handle interstate adoptions under the ICPC when a birth mother or adoptive family lives outside Florida.

Where would we meet with your attorneys?

Our offices are in Lake Worth (Palm Beach County) and Plantation (Broward County), both within reach of the Treasure Coast. In practice, many Martin County clients handle most steps by phone and secure communication, meeting in person only when it is helpful or required.

What say does a birth mother have in a private adoption?

A great deal. In our placement program, the birth mother chooses the adoptive family and decides how much communication and contact she wants before and after the birth. The process is private and does not involve DCF.

Is help really free for expectant mothers?

It is. All services for birth mothers are provided at no cost, our team is available around the clock, and every conversation is kept strictly confidential.
