In an adoption, the court establishes a legal parent-child relationship between a child and a parent who is not the child's biological or birth parent.
Adoptions in California are confidential and there are many different types of adoption. Penna Coker APLC can assist you with the following types of adoptions:
Stepparent Adoptions
In a stepparent adoption a spouse or domestic partner of one of the child’s birth parents becomes the child’s other legal parent. The couple must be married or registered domestic partners.
Adult Adoptions
An adult can adopt another adult under certain circumstances. The adopting adult must be the older of the two adults. Also, a person or married couple can only adopt one unrelated adult, unless the other adult to be adopted is the biological sibling of the first adopted adult or is an adult who is disabled or physically handicapped.
Independent Adoptions
This type of adoption happens when an adoption agency or Department of Social Services is not part of the adoption case. Often, this type of adoption is initiated by a child’s guardian who wishes to adopt the child in order to create a legal parent-child relationship.
