What are some benefits to a step-parent adoption?
In adopting your child, your spouse will be granted both rights and responsibility as a parent. Should anything happen to you, you can be certain that your child is where you want him or her to be. A step-parent adoption is often just the legal seal that finalizes all the parenting your spouse has done anyway and confirms your spouse’s desire to truly be your child’s father or mother. This adoption can bring your family even closer together, emotionally and in the eyes of the law.
