Can I adopt my stepchild without an attorney?

Yes, absolutely! The vast majority of the 34,000+ families we've helped did it without an attorney. Stepparent adoption is a straightforward legal process when it's uncontested (which most are).

What you get with our service ($349):

• All court-required documents prepared for your specific state and county
• Step-by-step filing instructions
• Unlimited email support
• Unlimited form revisions
• 100% court acceptance guarantee

Why families don't need an attorney:

• The documents are what matters — and ours are prepared correctly
• Filing is straightforward with our instructions
• The finalization hearing is brief and friendly
• Courts are very familiar with self-represented adoption petitioners

When you might want an attorney (in addition to our service):

• The biological parent is actively contesting the adoption
• There's a complex custody dispute
• You want someone at the hearing with you for comfort

For uncontested adoptions, our service is all you need. That's been proven over 25+ years and 34,000+ successful adoptions.
