Gay Second parent adoption

Second parent adoption is not legal in all states. Please contact a local attorney to know your state laws.
In a second parent adoption, a non-biological parent is given the ability to be a legally recognized parent to the child of his or her partner, thereby allowing the child both financial security and emotional stability from two legally recognized parents.

A second parent adoption of a child by one partner in a same-sex relationship is similar to the adoption of a child by a stepparent in a heterosexual relationship.

Like a child with two biological parents, a child with one biological parent and one adoptive parent is entitled to the family benefits, such as health insurance, social security and pension benefits, from both parents. In the unfortunate case of the death or incapacitation of a biological parent, a partner who has adopted his or her partner child can continue to provide a home for the child. Additionally, in the event of the death of the non-biological parent, the child is entitled to all entitlements as the legal heir to the non-biological parent.
