Reviews
We achieved a successful step parent adoption to completion with the assistance of the team at Swan. The process was long taking over 2 years and we had 3 seperate lawyers working with us through out that time. (Due to staff changes with one moving interstate and another starting her own practice) The staff are very helpful, professional and supportive people. Very grateful for their guidance and transparency throughout the process. We would recommend them should anyone be seeking the same outcome as in Australia step parent adoption is rare (we were told ours was the first successful adoption in SA of this kind in over 10 years) and an experienced team will help other families.
