Stepparent adoption covers when a current spouse or partner wants to become the legal parent of a child who is not biologically theirs. A solicitor guides the process through the Family Court, coordinating social work assessments, the child’s welfare and evidence about the suitability of the placement. They prepare and file the necessary documents, obtain consent from birth parents where possible, address any objections, and help finalize an Adoption Order so the stepparent gains parental rights and duties.
