Stepparent and Private Adoptions
A stepparent adoption takes place when a stepparent wishes to establish legal rights to his or her spouse's child. This type of adoption is very common. However, you may need assistance terminating the other parent's rights before the adoption can occur. Our attorneys can draft a consent to voluntarily relinquish parental rights for the child's other parent to sign, and follow through on the adoption by the stepparent
If the other parent refuses to sign away rights or is unable to do so, we can petition the court for an involuntary relinquishment of parental rights. We can provide the help you need in these cases.
Not all adoptions are handled through agencies. We can also assist you with private or third-party adoptions. This type of adoption is for unrelated third parties adopting a child whose biological parents have agreed to give up their parental rights.
