Same Sex & Step Parent Adoption Overview

Same Sex & Step Parent Adoptions

For many step-parents and people in same-sex relationships, the children of domestic partners and spouses have become their own in all but the eyes of the law. At the Law Office of Carla J. Zolman, LLC, we make this special relationship official through legal adoptions within the Missouri family law system.

From two convenient locations in St. Louis, we provide a range of adoption services to area families, including adoption assistance for step-parents and same sex couples. As your representative and legal advisor, we will carefully educate you about the options available to you, guiding you down the path that is right for you and your family.

Dedicated Assistance for Same Sex Couples

Same sex couples expecting children or who currently have children face a variety of legal challenges. We are some of the only attorneys in the area with experience helping same sex couples manage these challenges and plan for a secure future. We assist with legal adoptions for both parents, and develop custom tailored estate planning documents designed to fit their lives and families.

Helping Step Parents Take the Step to Legal Parenthood

There are number of scenarios that lead to step-parent seeking to adopt a child, including:

  • When a biological parent consents to an adoption to avoid child support payments
  • Cases where a biological parent has passed away
  • Other cases in which the biological parent is contesting the adoption

We will work towards a legal adoption in all of these situations. In cases where the adoption is contested, we advocate for our client’s interests through all stages of the legal process.
