Frequently asked questions concerning how to adopt a stepchild and what are the procedures of adoption, Dallas attorney, Shelly B. West

How to Adopt a Stepchild

Question:  How can my new wife adopt my children, her stepchildren?

Answer:  To accomplish an adoption of stepchildren, your husband must file suit and give notice to the mother of the child. It is possible that the mother would be agreeable, and if she is, she can sign an affidavit to that effect. The judge may decide that an attorney should be appointed to represent the child (attorney ad litem) in a step-parent adoption circumstance. If so, you can expect to pay that attorney as well.
