Stepparent Adoption is a legal process of parental rights and responsibilities for a child that is given to a person who is not the legal birth parent of the child. However, through stepparent adoption it is possible to become the legal parent of your partner’s child from either a previous marriage or relationship. As they have now become part of your family you would like to formally adopt them. Adoption is not an appropriate answer for every child in stepfamilies, but when the child is the sole responsibility of your new spouse then adoption is very sensible. It is not automatic and every case becomes carefully considered by the court before adoption is finalised. stepparent adoption
