In this blog post, Jay Bills, an Okmulgee attorney, discusses the complex topic of stepchildren and adoption. Jay emphasizes the importance of responsible and loving parenting, regardless of biological ties. He highlights situations where a stepparent may consider adopting their stepchild without the consent of the absent biological parent, particularly when they have had minimal involvement in the child’s life. By doing so, it can protect the child from potential trauma caused by reintroducing an absent parent. Jay invites readers to reach out to him for more information and guidance on this matter.
