An adoption is a way to take someone who is not a legal member of your family and make them a legal member of your family.
We usually think of adoption as involving a child, but it is also possible to adopt an adult, although this does not happen very often.
For the adopted person, this means that the previous legal ties to their family are cut and they are no longer a part of that family. They will not inherit from that family and that family cannot inherit from them. Instead, the person is now a legal member of the new family and will have all of the rights of a natural born family member.
This is a very serious undertaking and there are a lot of steps that the court requires before they will enter the adoption. In some situtions these steps can be minimized. One of these special situations is the case of a step-parent adoption.
If you have more questions about adoptions, call us at 757-234-4650 and we can schedule a consultation to go over the specifics of your situation.
