Do I need the other parent's consent for stepparent adoption in Ohio?

Most likely not! Approximately 80% of the stepparent adoptions we help complete in Ohio are done without the biological parent's consent. If the other parent has abandoned the child (failed to maintain meaningful contact or support), Ohio courts routinely approve adoptions without consent.
