Adopting a stepchild can change their life. If you're currently the step parent of a child that requires another parental figure in their life, adoption can help you legally become their parent. If you're planning on adopting a stepchild, it's essential that you're prepared to accept all responsibilities for the child. As the child's biological parent that you're replacing will no longer have legal rights or responsibilities, this is a large commitment.

There is a range of legal issues that can impact your ability to adopt a stepchild. The courts must look out for the interests of the child involved in the adoption. If you're hoping to adopt a stepchild and you are ready to take the next steps in your adoption journey, our team is here to make the process as stress-free as possible. We understand the sensitive nature of adopting a stepchild - and we'll be with you at every stage of the process to ensure it runs smoothly.
