Potential Challenges to Step-Parent Adoption
In step-parent adoptions, you adopt your spouse’s child from a former marriage or relationship. The child’s biological parent is given the opportunity to oppose the adoption if they wish, after which it will be up to the court to decide if the adoption is in the best interests of the child.
If the child’s biological parent opposes the action, the adoption can then become a more complicated process. It may involve the termination of the biological parent’s parental rights, which is a serious decision to be made by the court. Other types of adoptions may proceed from foster care, through private parties, or through adoption agencies.
