Step-Parent Adoptions

Sometimes, helping build a new family involves more than providing life’s necessities and a home for you and your step children. At the Oklahoma City law office of Christopher A. Wood, we shepherd step parents through the process of adoption, taking steps to terminate parental rights on grounds that make possible future claims to custody difficult to defend. Committed to protecting what’s best for children, we’re prepared to document neglect, abandonment, and lack of involvement on the part of a biological parent who tries to challenge a step parent’s adoption of their child. With over 17 years of experience as a family law attorney, Christopher A. Wood understands how to prepare and investigate a case and put the law on the side of his clients.

Representing clients throughout Oklahoma County, Logan County, Cleveland County, Grady County, and El Reno County, we offer free consultations and are available during evenings and on weekends by appointment.

Being Prepared is Key

It’s important to document your involvement with your step children. Since the court always maintains what is in the best interest of children, you will need to establish the role you play in the life of your step children. In order to satisfy the court, providing the following can be helpful to your case:

• Daily log of taking children to school, the doctor, sports activities, etc.
• Photos of birthday and holiday celebrations where you were present
• Vacation photos or videos with you and your step children
• Records of medical bills paid for by you for your step children
