Stepparent Adoptions
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.
Family Adoptions ∙
Grandparent Adoptions
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.
Additional legal
privileges also separate
an adoption from a
guardianship.
Second Parent Adoptions
A second-parent adoption is a legal process which allows a child who has one sole legal parent to be adopted by another parent. Although the sole legal parent must consent to the adoption, his or her rights are not terminated by the second-parent adoption. A second-parent adoption can be used to help gay and lesbian couples adopt a child in Colorado.
