Mary Ann Scherer, P.A. presents adoptionflorida.com, a web resource on domestic and international adoption for individuals and families.

The Fort Lauderdale Law Office of Mary Ann Scherer, P.A., has provided adoption services for 25 years. Thanks to our extensive experience in the field, we can provide biological and adoptive parents with an accurate overview of the adoption process, specific information as to adoption in Florida, a description of services available, and answers to important adoption questions.
Domestic adoption programs are available, as well as international programs involving children from Guatemala and China.

The Scherer law office handles all aspects of adoption placement for parents from all walks of life who choose this alternative. From the totally open adoption to the totally closed -- and all areas in between -- there is an adoption plan that's suitable for you. For those interested in international placement, we offer international coordination and dossier preparation services.
Whether you are a prospective birth parent or adoptive parent, you should know that the process ahead of you can be complex and has lasting -- even permanent -- implications. Adoption counseling is a recommended component to a successful adoption. So you should be careful in not only choosing a plan, but also in choosing a professional to coordinate it with you and for you.
Step-Parent, Grand-Parent, Foster Parent and Relative Adoption services are also available, see my other website www.FamilyLawFlorida.net
If you have already researched placement options and need to put one into action, then your first call to our office can initiate the process. If you need help in choosing a course of action, then professional advice is just one call away. Speaking to someone who works in this area all the time is the best way to gain the knowledge you need to make an informed decision.
Take time to call, to question, to ask. Everyone in the adoption field welcomes your questions because we are sincere in our desire to help. And the more knowledgeable you become, the faster and easier it is for us to help you.
Mary Ann Scherer is available 24 hours a day to birth parents and adoptive parents to discuss possible plans via email, telephone or message with return contact information.
There is always time for her to help a birth parent in need of medical care, housing, transportation and counseling, and to assist adoptive parents who may be overwhelmed by the amount of information regarding adoption.
