You may have arrived at this web page because you realize that you need the help of an experienced McKinney lawyer to clarify and facilitate a Texas stepparent adoption. Your child's relationship with his or her stepfather may be solid, but you believe your family will be made stronger by formalizing a stepparent adoption. Advantages of adoption in a blended family often include the following:
- The stepchild may take the last name of the stepfather, removing distinctions in the household between him (or her) and younger siblings born of the marriage.
- An adoptive stepparent will have the same rights that any parent has to make decisions for the child, such as the right to approve medical care or enroll the child in school. The "stepparent" designation can cease to be an obstacle in normal parenting.
- The stepchild will have the same rights as a biological child of the new parent, including inheritance rights.
- Adoption of a stepchild legally formalizes a relationship that is already established in the blended family.
An experienced family law attorney can help streamline the processes involved in completing a stepparent adoption.
