Protect Your Rights and Your Stepchild's Rights
1-800-DADS-LAW

Stepfathers: Stepfathers choose to adopt a stepchild to protect the child’s rights as well as the stepfather’s rights and to strengthen the bond between 'father and child' and the family unit. When the biological father is unknown or has not been present in the child’s life for years or when the natural father chooses to relinquish parental rights, talk to the stepparent adoption lawyers at DADSLAW, INC.

We can guide you through the probate court process of establishing you as the child’s adoptive parent. The process begins with terminating the rights of the natural parent. When the natural parent cannot be found or was never known, a social services agency will attempt to locate him.

If you want to turn your stepparent relationship into a legal adoption, we can help assure that all legal obligations are met in establishing you as the child’s father.

Biological Fathers: Are you a natural father who has been approached about relinquishing parental rights? Do you really want to relinquish your parental rights? Or are you considering it because you feel like you don't have another option? Contact our fathers' rights law firm for advice on your rights, your options, and the legal process.

No matter where you live, if you want to adopt a stepchild, contact the stepparent adoption lawyers experienced in fighting for the rights of men and fathers – DADSLAW, INC. We represent men in Southern California and throughout the U.S. through our network of DADSLAW, INC. affiliates.
