Stepparent Adoption and Co-Parent Adoption
It's important to consider the future of the child you care for, especially in the event something happens to their biological parent. In Georgia, the law provides a pathway for co-parents to adopt their partner's biological or adopted child, ensuring that the child remains within a loving and stable environment. This option is available regardless of the co-parents' marital status, which is significant for families formed through various circumstances. By pursuing stepparent or co-parent adoption, you can secure legal rights and responsibilities, providing the child with a sense of security and belonging in their family unit.

LGBT+ Family Adoption
In Georgia, sexual orientation may not be considered as a factor in adoptions. Additionally, Georgia permits second-parent adoptions, an important legal process that allows a co-parent to adopt the biological or adopted child of their partner, regardless of their marital status. This option is especially beneficial for LGBTQ+ families, as it ensures that both parents have legal rights and responsibilities towards the child. Navigating the adoption process can be complex, but the experienced adoption lawyers at The Cherry Law Firm are here to guide you every step of the way, providing personalized support and expertise to help you build your family with confidence.
