Adoption
Before a person may adopt a child, it usually is necessary to terminate the parental rights of one or both of the child's parents. Contact the Clerk of Juvenile Court or Register in Probate in the County you reside for more information on the court procedure for Termination of Parental Rights. You may also visit the State of Wisconsin Department of Children & Families website for more information.
