Give a Child Stability Through Kinship Adoption in Florida

When a child cannot remain with their biological parents, kinship adoption offers a loving, legal path to permanency with a trusted family member. At Court Source, Inc., we provide professional, affordable nonlawyer legal document preparation for Florida kinship adoptions—helping grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, and other relatives secure their legal rights and provide a stable home.
We proudly serve clients throughout Ocala (Marion County), Volusia County, Citrus County, Lake County, and surrounding areas of Central Florida.

What Is Kinship Adoption?

Kinship adoption allows close relatives to adopt a child when the biological parents are unable, unwilling, or unfit to care for the child. This legal process:
  • Terminates the biological parents’ rights
  • Transfers permanent parental rights to the adopting family member
  • Grants full authority over education, health care, and decision-making
  • Do not request alimony
  • Have lived in Florida for at least six months
Florida law favors placing children with relatives when possible, and Court Source, Inc. is here to help with the required court paperwork from start to finish.

We Prepare the Following Kinship Adoption Documents

Our Florida Health Care Surrogate preparation package includes:
  • Petition for Relative or Kinship Adoption (Chapter 63, Florida Statutes)
  • Consent of Parent(s) to Adoption (when applicable)
  • Affidavit of Non-Paternity or Termination of Parental Rights
  • UCCJEA Affidavit (Form 12.902(d))
  • Final Judgment of Adoption by a Relative
  • Vital Statistics Form (DH Form 527)
  • Home Study Waiver (if eligible under relative exception)
