As
our culture changes into a multi-dimensional family, the idea of step-parent
adoption comes up more and more frequently. Step-parent adoption always
requires that the natural parent losing his/her rights consent to the adoption of
the child by the step-parent. If the natural parent is deceased, a death
certificate must be supplied in lieu of consent. A home study is not required
for a step-parent adoption in Florida. Additionally, the termination of
parental rights of the natural parent and the adoption finalization can be
completed in one hearing. It is always better to complete an adoption of any
type with an attorney to assure that the process is done correctly. Some items
to gather for a step-parent adoption are:
Certified Birth Certificate Of The Child Being Adopted
The Address History Of The Child Being Adopted
The Complete Contact Information For The Natural Parent
Being Terminated
This list may not be inclusive based on circumstance.
