Experienced Frisco Stepparent and Domestic Adoption Lawyer

Often, a stepparent will want to adopt a stepchild for several reasons, which may include:

• Inheritance rights — the stepparent wants to adopt the child to ensure the child inherits under state law as a child of the adopting parent
• Medical and insurance coverage — a stepparent may want to adopt a stepchild to ensure the child is able to receive medical treatment and coverage under the terms of an insurance policy
• Rights to make decisions on behalf of the child — a stepparent adoption can provide you with the ability and rights to make decisions on behalf of your stepchild, including medical, educational, religious and other important decisions in your stepchild’s life
• Name change — although a name change in and of itself is not a reason to adopt a child, nevertheless, if you are adopting a child, you may wish to have that child take your family name
