Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Adoption Paperwork

I wanted to know what the process was for filing the paperwork myself in a step-parent adoption? The natural father has already given his consent to sign the papers.

Re: Adoption Paperwork

Go to the court house in the county that the child lives in and ask the clerk of the court to help you.

Otherwise, various assistance can be found via internet searches. You may want to think about going to the liabrary

and spending some time reading about this.

Where a child is involved, there is importance. Spending time to address the matter and acquaint yourself with the law is what I suggest.

Anything less and it undervalues how important your matter is. Adoption is more than just putting names in blocks on paper and paying a court fee.
