Step-Parent Adoption

Step-parent adoption is the most common type of adoption. It may not require the involvement of an adoption agency but almost always involves an adoption attorney or family law attorney since such an adoption is a legal process. 

Over the past 45+ years our not-for-profit adoption agency and I have helped over 9000 birth parents and families from all 50 states. We have completed over 900 successful placements and we have a five-star rating on Google.  You can always visit our testimonial pages (see the link on the right).

A step-parent adoption is different than having a blood relative adopt your child. For a blood relative adoption please click on the link Adoption by a Relative. You may find the information provided in Child Welfare Information Gateway article "Stepparent Adoption" helpful.
