Human-Centered, Clear and Reassuring Legal Support

Adoption is a significant milestone in the life of a child and for the individuals who wish to welcome them. At DUX Law Firm, we provide comprehensive legal support for adoption in Québec, whether you are considering intrafamily adoption, special consent adoption, or if your situation involves the Director of Youth Protection (DPJ).

​

Our priority is to guide you through each stage of the adoption process with a human, accessible and rigorous approach.

​

Are you considering adoption?

Whether you are exploring private adoption, DPJ adoption or adoption within your family, we are here to help you understand your options and move forward with confidence.

​

Are you a biological parent facing a potential adoption plan?

If the DPJ is considering an adoption plan for your child or if you are involved in proceedings that may lead to adoption, it is normal to have questions or feel worried. As a biological parent, you have rights, and it is essential to understand each step of the process and the options available to you.
