Adoption is a court procedure among other things and because of that there are certain things the court wants to be sure of before allowing for an adoption and at the top of that list is the status of the child's biological parents. It is becoming more common for parents to remarry and have their new spouse adopt their child from a previous relationship. In order for a stepparent to adopt, he or she will need the written consent of the other biological parent. If this consent is denied, the stepparent must petition the court to terminate the parental rights of the biological parent, unless those rights have already been terminated as part of the divorce.
