At Hausmann & Hickman, P.A., adoption is not one practice area among many; it is the entire practice. Our attorneys work exclusively in adoption and reproductive law, representing adoptive families and supporting birth mothers throughout Coral Springs and northwest Broward County. If your family’s next chapter involves adoption, or if an unplanned pregnancy has you searching for answers, our Coral Springs adoption attorneys offer a calm, knowledgeable place to start.
We serve both sides of every adoption with equal care. Hopeful parents receive detailed legal representation, while expectant mothers receive cost-free guidance, resources, and a team that answers at any hour. Meetings can be arranged at our Broward County office in Plantation, an easy drive south from Coral Springs.
Coral Springs, FL
Coral Springs was designed with intention from the beginning, a master-planned city in northwest Broward whose neighborhoods, parks, and youth programs reflect a community organized around children. That planning shows: families move here for safe streets, green space, and activities that fill weekends from soccer fields to art festivals. It is precisely the kind of environment adoptive parents dream of offering a child.
There is a pleasing symmetry between a planned city and a well-planned adoption. Just as Coral Springs grew according to a thoughtful blueprint, a sound adoption follows a deliberate legal sequence, and skipping steps in either case invites trouble. We bring that blueprint mindset to every family we represent here, backed by the county-wide resources described on our Broward County Adoption Attorneys page.
Choosing Private Adoption in Coral Springs
Private adoption in Coral Springs revolves around personal choice rather than institutional process. Using our private adoption placement program, birth mothers and adoptive families are brought together thoughtfully and in complete privacy — the Florida Department of Children and Families is never part of the process. The result is an experience that feels human rather than bureaucratic.
Authority over the big questions rests with the birth mother. Which family will raise the child, how much the two sides communicate during the pregnancy, and what contact continues after birth are all hers to determine. None of our services ever cost her a penny, and she can reach our team around the clock. For adoptive parents, private adoption in Coral Springs offers transparency and a genuine relationship with the woman who chose them.
From First Call to Finalization
Private adoption in Coral Springs often makes sense once the process is laid out plainly. Here is that outline:
- The first call: A confidential conversation in which we learn your goals and translate Florida’s adoption laws into plain English for your situation.
- An adoption plan takes shape: Guided by her own priorities, the birth mother selects a family and defines the communication and contact she wants at every stage.
- A careful match: Our placement program brings the parties together privately, with expectations set clearly on both sides.
- Documents and deadlines: We manage the consents, filings, and statutory requirements with careful attention to every detail of Florida law.
- Finalization day: The court’s final judgment makes the family official, often the most celebrated court date a family will ever have.

More than 25 years of exclusive focus have seen our attorneys assist in creating over a thousand families through adoption and surrogacy in Florida, in matters running from newborn placements to stepparent, relative, adult, and interstate adoptions, along with surrogacy agreements and contested litigation. Coral Springs families get the benefit of everything those years have taught us.

Questions Coral Springs Families Often Ask
Can you explain what private adoption means?
It is an adoption arranged directly between a birth mother and the adoptive family she selects, completed under an attorney’s guidance and outside the Florida Department of Children and Families. Privacy and personal choice are its defining features.
Which side of the adoption do you work with?
Both. Our firm represents adoptive families through every legal stage and simultaneously provides birth mothers with guidance, supportive services, and resources, always free of charge to her.
Will anyone find out about my situation?
Not from us. Strict confidentiality governs every conversation and every record, and discretion is one of the chief reasons families pursue private adoption in Coral Springs.
