Grandparent Adoption

Grandparent adoption allows grandparents to become the legal parents of their grandchildren when biological parents are unable to care for them.

Sometimes grandparents need to step in and provide a permanent home for their grandchildren. Whether due to substance abuse, incarceration, death, or other circumstances affecting the biological parents, grandparent adoption provides stability and security.

The process involves terminating the parental rights of both biological parents and establishing the grandparents as the child's legal parents.

Requirements

  • Termination of both biological parents' rights
  • Home study evaluation
  • Criminal background checks
  • Financial stability assessment
  • Court approval

Benefits

  • Permanent legal custody
  • Access to school and medical decisions
  • Social Security and inheritance rights
  • Stability for grandchildren
