In the US the parents relinquishing their parental rights and the adopting couple must be represented by legal counsel. If the court terminates parental rights or the minor child is orphaned he or she becomes a ward of the state and the court appoints a Guardian Ad Litem to represent the child during custodial/guardianship procedures and other judiciary actions. In most states a GAL must be an attorney, in a few states it can be any non-related person that the court deems qualified to make decisions that are in the best interest of the child, such as a member of CASA.
