Re: Adoption of stepchildren
Our office does Step-parent adoptions. The main question is whether the parents of the children would approve such an adoption. In doing so, you would be terminating the birth father's parental rights. Please feel free to call me to set up a free consultation 952-746-4111 or e-mail me at [email protected]
Re: Adoption of stepchildren
In order to adopt a step child the biologcal father's rights must be terminated. TO terminate those parental rights as part of a step parent adoption you must (1) have an agreement with the biological father; or (2) demonstrate that the biological father endangers the child.
