What are the requirements for stepparent adoption?

Requirements vary by state but generally include: being legally married to or in a domestic partnership with the child's biological parent, the biological parent retaining custody, consent from both biological parents (or termination of the absent parent's rights), passing a background check, and in some states, a home study. Our state-specific forms guide you through your exact requirements.

Do I need the biological parent's consent for stepparent adoption?

In most cases, yes. The non-custodial biological parent must either voluntarily consent to the adoption or have their parental rights terminated by the court. Termination may be possible if the parent has abandoned the child, failed to support the child, or is deemed unfit. Our forms include the necessary consent documents for your state.

What is adult adoption and how is it different?

Adult adoption is the legal process of adopting someone who is 18 years or older. It's often used by stepparents who want to formally adopt an adult stepchild, or for inheritance and family recognition purposes. The process is typically simpler than minor adoption as it doesn't require home studies or biological parent consent in most states. Our adult adoption package is also $325.
