Adoption Issues to Consider
Blended families and stepparent adoptions are becoming very common. Whether divorced parents remarry or single parents enter a first marriage, the new stepparent may choose to establish legal rights to the child. Usually, we can facilitate stepparent adoptions fairly quickly.
Grandparent and other relative adoptions are similar to stepparent adoptions. In these circumstances, the parent may be unfit, absent or deceased.
In any case, parental rights must be terminated before the adoption can go forward. In appropriate cases, parents will give up their parental rights voluntarily. In some situations, the termination of parental rights is contested. We can advise you concerning the feasibility of such contests.
