Step-parent Adoption
Do you want to adopt your spouse’s child or children?
Step-parent Adoption occurs when the child’s stepfather or stepmother assumes financial and legal responsibility and the non-custodial parent is released from all parenting responsibilities.
Adoption Connection can provide the State of Ohio-required Step-parent Adoption Homestudy Assessment. This includes one in-home interview for all household members, completion of required documentation, and filing the documentation in Probate Court.
