Your question, explained
Yes! You can adopt multiple stepchildren in the same proceeding in Oregon. This is common and we handle it regularly.
How it works:
- A single petition can cover all children from the same biological parent
- All children are included in the same finalization hearing
- Each child age 14+ will need to give their individual consent
Cost:
- Our fee: $349 for the first child + $99 for each additional child
- Court filing fee may be slightly higher for multiple children
- One background check covers all
Example: Adopting 3 stepchildren = $349 + $99 + $99 = $547 for our document preparation. Still a fraction of what an attorney would charge for one child.
All documents for all children are prepared together and delivered within 24 hours.
