In a stepparent adoption an individual is typically looking to adopt his or her spouse's child from a previous relationship. If the adoption is approved, you will have full, legal recognition as the child's parent. Without this legal status, the non-custodial biological parent may still be able to assert his or her parental rights if the custodial birth parent becomes incapacitated or dies. A legally sound stepparent adoption offers you and the child security.
