In the event of a successful
Adoption, the child
legally becomes part of the family, creating a legal relationship,
just as if the child had been biologically born to the adoptive
parents.
Perspective adoptive parents may choose to adopt a child for various
reasons, including, but not limited to:
-
Bringing a child into their lives
when they are unable to biologically do so;
-
Provide love and better future
for a child who is less fortunate in their current situation;
-
To provide the essential need,
care and love to a child with special needs;
-
In the event of the untimely death of both
of a child's parents;
-
To provide additional stability
in a family in which the biological father relinquishes his
parental rights, and the step-father is willing to legally
assume the responsibility, with both the mother and biological
father consent.

child adoption and
family law issues, make sure your legal rights are

In the State of Florida, when
the adoptive parent is a blood relative, or the spouse of the biological parent
of the child, baring unforeseen complications or legal disputes by other
family members, the
adoption of a child by a relative is typically a much easier process than that
of an adoption of a child who is not related.
Under Florida Law, an Adoption by a relative involves the
relationship between:
-
The Child and their Aunt
and/or Uncle;
-
The Child and their Grandparents
-
The Child and their
Step-Parent (when the biological parent legally consents to
giving up all parental rights, or in the event of the death of
the parent or their spouse and the other biological parent)
-
The Child and their other
relatives who are a first, second, or third degree relative (typically older
full blood related siblings, older half-blood related siblings, great-grandparents).
If you are considering the adoption a child, or the adoption of
a relative, make sure you are well informed regarding your legal
rights, options, the legal process you will have to go through.
