If all parties agree a stepparent adoption may be in the best interest of all parties. Our team of family law attorneys understand how important family is. At the Washington Law Offices of Clayton R. Dickinson our family law attorneys have over 30 years of experience and understand the importance of protecting and providing for those most important to you.

Stepparent Adoption

In a stepparent adoption the biological mother, biological father, and the potential stepparent must agree on the adoption. Unless otherwise noted by the courts the biological parent allowing their child to be adopted must terminate their parental rights, thereby forging all legal ties to the child. The step- parent agrees to take on all parental responsibilities for the child or children and to ensure the minors financial, emotional, and overall well-being are always addressed accordingly. Making the decision to allow a partner to adopt your children is a very personal experience. If you’ve made the decision and are ready to move forward with stepparent adoption hiring a family law attorney to help you through the process is always advised.
