What We Help Families Accomplish
What is Stepparent Adoption?
Stepparent adoption is the legal process by which a stepparent becomes the legal parent of their spouse's child. This permanently establishes parental rights including inheritance, medical decision-making, and the full parent-child relationship. The process requires either consent from the biological parent or court termination of their parental rights.
Timeline: Typically 3-6 months from filing to finalization
What is Adult Adoption?
Adult adoption is the legal process of adopting someone who is 18 years or older. It's commonly used by stepparents to formally adopt adult stepchildren, creating legal inheritance rights and official family recognition. Adult adoption is typically simpler than minor adoption, often not requiring home studies or biological parent consent.
Timeline: Usually faster than minor adoption, often 2-4 months
