Step parent adoption

Step parent adoption

Step parent adoption

This is not a call to initiate a war to pry a child from a participating parent in their life.
Consider Brad Paisley’s song.  Really, take a moment and listen.He didn’t have to be.

This is a call to consider the child that may be in your household who considers you “Mom” or “Dad” because you chose to commit your life to one of their biological parents in marriage, AND their other biological parent has not been a part of their lives. Again, this is not a call to initiate a war to pry a child from a participating parent in their life.

A step-parent/relative adoption in South Carolina requires fewer formalities than other adoptions. Step-parent/relative adoption is not the right move for all families. Consider consulting with an attorney to discuss the legal side of Step-parent / relative adoption. Consider consulting with your pastor, or counselors regarding the social side of the option.
