Stepparent Adoptions
When a parent remarries and a child's stepmother or stepfather wishes to adopt, there are several legal steps involved. Usually the child has little or no contact with one biological parent, so the absent parent may be willing to give up his or her parental rights.
Adoption & Termination of Parental Rights
Very often, adoption also involves the termination of one parent's rights. When a stepparent is adopting, it is important to seek guidance from a knowledgeable adoption lawyer, so the new parent is legally recognized as the child's parent. If you don't go through the correct process or make mistakes along the way, the child's birth father (or mother) may be able to assert his (or her) rights in the future.
