What is the success rate of stepparent adoption?

The success rate is extremely high. In our 25+ years and 34,000+ completed adoptions, the vast majority of cases are approved.

Why the success rate is so high:

• Over 80% are based on abandonment (bio parent absent) — courts approve these routinely
• The child is already living with the stepparent in a stable home
• Courts strongly favor providing children with two legal parents
• The process is well-established in every state

When adoption might not be approved:

• The adopting stepparent has a criminal history involving crimes against children (rare)
• The biological parent successfully contests and proves they've maintained a relationship (uncommon)
• Required steps aren't completed properly (our 100% guarantee covers this)

Our track record:

• 34,000+ families helped since 1999
• All 50 states and D.C.
• 100% court acceptance guarantee on our documents
• Average savings of $4,600+ vs. attorney fees
