In many adoption cases, particularly in stepparent adoptions, the termination of parental rights is a crucial legal first step. This process involves legally severing the rights and responsibilities of a child’s biological parent or parents, allowing the adoptive parent(s) to fully assume the parental role. Termination of parental rights can be voluntary, such as when a biological parent agrees to the termination, or involuntary, when a court determines that there are legal grounds to terminate a parents rights and that the termination is in the child’s best interest, often due to abandonment, neglect, or abuse.
