Answer 2

It's called Step-Parent Adoption. I know because i just adopted my step child. Although Adoption laws vary from state to state this type of adoption is easier to obtain than other type of adoptions. The general procedure is the same for step parents, but some parts are often waived or glossed over. These include: The Adoption hearing, Waiting periods, and Inquries into the child's environment. It might also be wise to contact a famliy court lawyer if anything else arises. Hope that helps!
