Foster Care Adoption

In 2020, there were approximately 4,800 Minnesota children in out-of-home placement. Foster parents are all too often the unsung heroes of the child protection system, providing sacrificial care to some of societies most vulnerable members. When all goes well, they work in cooperation with the county to protect the child’s best interests, including adoption. Sometimes, however, foster parents have legitimate concerns regarding the county’s plan for the child.

Whether you have the support of the county and need help with finalizing the adoption, or you find yourself forced to challenge the county’s plan, Shively Law Office, LLC is ready to help.

As a former Assistant County Attorney, Brittany is not only familiar with the child protection system but passionate about promoting children’s best interests and helping them achieve a forever home.

If you are struggling with a foster care situation or have been given the “green light” to finalize a foster care adoption, please give us a call. We’re happy to help!
