About Step-Parent Adoption Any adult person may file a petition to adopt a child, however, the person adopting must be at least 10 years older than the child. If the child is over 12 years old, you must also get his or her consent to adopt.
In order to complete a stepparent adoption, you must get the other parents consent in writing, show a reason they do not need to consent (deceased, not the biological parent) or ask the court to end their rights as a parent.
One way to win a contested adoption is to prove that the contesting party is an unfit parent. This is a very serious legal step. Proving that a biological mother or biological father is unfit to be a parent will legally strip them of their parental rights.
For an adult adoption, you would not need the permission of your biological parents. Your stepfather would need to go the clerk of court in your county and request a petition for adoption form and have it filed. There would be a consent form you would need to sign as well.
It typically takes two weeks to a month to complete. If theres any opposition to the adoption, especially from the other biological parent, it becomes a contested case. This can docHubly lengthen the process, taking months or even years to resolve through the court system.

An uncontested step-parent adoption takes approximately 3 months from first visit to an attorney until final order of adoption. A contested matter will take longer. Even if it were uncontested, it would be a terrible idea for a person to attempt an adoption without the assistance of a knowledgeable attorney.
Adoption Law Group charges a flat fee of $2,500 for an uncontested stepparent adoption. This includes everything necessary to complete your adoption, including contacting the absent parent to obtain his or her consent, except the investigation fee, payable directly to the investigating agency.
