Generally no. Step parents do not take on responsibility for children of other relationships.

In the USA there may be laws in some states that require step parents to support unrelated children, more especially when the biological parent spouse fails to do so.

What rights do you have to your child that was adopted out in Missouri who has contacted you?
Until the child is an adult you have no rights. The adoptive parents have to give you permission to contact between you two as long as the child is a minor.
- In order to make babies it takes a mom and dad to make one so you do have a dad somewhere. You should sit down and talk to your mother or step-mother and ask her these questions. When you are older you can search for your father and perhaps meet him some day or, you may not want too. Your real parents (if you are adopted and have a step-mother and step-father) love you and you real mom and dad may have been too young by law to get married and so you were given up for adoption or your father was so young that he was afraid and could not look after you properly. Your step-parents love you very much or they would not have adopted you so enjoy them until you are old enough to search for your dad or both of your real parents. Don't ever feel bad about who you are and always remember your dad is out there somewhere.

Then get into contact with the social worker and ask about adopting the child
Why shouldn't you give up your parental rights?
There are many reasons why you shouldn't give up your parental rights.
- You're the child's biological family.
- This child will have many of the same genetic things you have (including but not limited to...diseases disabilities or disorders.) and if another family has this child they may not know why this child has certain behaviors.
- I know from experience that growing up not in contact with your biological family is hard and brings up a lot of questions.
However, there are some reasons you may want to turn over you're parental rights
- If you can't finanically support a child
- If you or a family member in the home has a history of abusive behavior.
Think long and hard about this and remember... Sometimes you can't just think about what's best for you because you have to ask yourself "What's the best thing for my child"
I wish you the best.
This varies from state to state.

Why did the narrator and his wife adopt her?
i dont know who your talking about. but it was because the girl had no one to live with or the narrator and his wife needed her quickly.
no you couldn't. I'm sorry that you feel the way you do about your family. Believe me when I say that moving out of your home won't solve anything. I'm 15 and I had the same feelings and I lost a lot before I realized that my family loves me so much and moving out just made everything worse.
