Legal Question in Family Law in California
SSN Benefits vs. Adoption
I recently married a man with a 14 year old daughter. She receives social security benefits from her mothers death 5 years ago. If I adopt her, will my husband lose the S.S. benefits that he receives for her?

If you adopt her you take the place of her mother. She would have two parents and would seem that she would no longer qualify for SS benefits.
