Families look to adopt children for many reasons. An adoption will legally recognize the new parents the same as if he or she is their biological child, while ending any legal relationship with his or her birth parents. The new parent will have full legal rights, as well as full legal responsibilities, for the adopted child. This allows the child to have a new Birth Certificate issued, change their last name, and gives them inheritance rights with the new parents.
The most common type of adoption is Stepparent Adoption.
