Before any child can be adopted the biological parents must relinquish parental rights pursuant to the laws of the state in which they reside. Once the court accepts the petition and terminates the biological parents rights, the person's wishing to adopt the minor child can begin the adoption procedures.

After the court hearing, the child is a part of the new family, legally, it is just like they were born into that family.
