Before making your application for stepparent adoption, you must attend a stepparent adoption information session.
These are held virtually and you will be emailed a link to be able to join the presentation via Microsoft Teams. They are an opportunity to find out about the adoption process, understand the legal orders and alternatives to step-parent adoption, and ask any questions you may have.
Please note that we are fully booked for all of our scheduled events; there are no further dates in 2026. For any enquiries regarding stepparent adoption, please contact us by calling 0300 123 6727.
