What is Step Parent Adoption?

Step-parent adoption is the legal process by which a step-parent assumes the parental rights and responsibilities for their spouse’s child. This process solidifies the bond between the step-parent and the child, granting the step-parent the same legal status as a biological parent.

Why Choose Adoption as a Step-Parent?

  • Legal Rights and Responsibilities

Adoption ensures that the step-parent has full parental rights, including the ability to make important legal, medical, and educational decisions.

  • Emotional and Psychological Benefits

It creates a sense of permanence and security for the child, providing clarity about family roles.

  • Inheritance Rights

Adoption allows the child to legally inherit from the step-parent, just as a biological child would.
