Mikaela Hallberg
Attorney, stepparent adoption and finalizations
Stepfamilies often tell me the paperwork got in the way of a family that works fine. I try to make the paperwork short.
Mikaela takes stepparent adoptions and adoption finalizations from the first call to the decree. She is the one who sends the consent forms, the fingerprint instructions and the reminder the week before your hearing.
She prepares children for court with a short, friendly walk-through of the room and the judge's questions.

What Mikaela sends, and when
After the free call you get a one-page checklist. After you sign, a folder link. Two weeks before the hearing, a plain note on what to wear and where to log in or park.
On the day she is on the call or in the room, and afterward she sends the decree and the next steps for the birth certificate.
