Grandparent Adoption
Increasingly, grandparents are stepping in to assume the primary caretaker role for their grandchildren. There are many reasons for doing so, including:
- Substance abuse
- Death of a parent
- Divorce
- Domestic violence
- Child abandonment
- Mental health issues
Guardianship or Adoption is often advisable for grandparents who take over responsibility for their grandchildren. It gives grandparents all the legal rights of a parent. The first step in the legal process is to terminate the rights of the parents. This can be emotionally challenging for all involved.
