A stepparent adoption is a legal process in which a new husband, wife or partner seeks to adopt the child of his or her spouse or partner. In order for a stepparent adoption to occur, the biological parent without child custody must terminate his or her parental rights. A stepparent adoption can also occur if the biological parent's location is unknown.
Our law firm assists grandparents, aunts and uncles and other family members wishing to adopt a minor child. An adoption — as opposed to a guardianship — permits greater legal responsibilities for the caregiver. An adopted child can receive inheritance from his or her adoptive parents.
