The Surrogacy Space, Ep. 42: “Stepparent and Second Parent Adoption”
Join host Marla Neufeld, Surrogacy Partner at Greenspoon Marder, and guest Jason Alman, Senior Counsel in the firm’s Marital & Family Law Practice Group, for an informative discussion on stepparent and second parent adoption. In this episode of The Surrogacy Space, Marla and Jason explore the important legal protections these adoption proceedings provide for families formed through surrogacy, IVF, donor conception, and other assisted reproductive technologies.
The conversation examines the key differences between stepparent and second parent adoptions, who may benefit from these legal processes, and why obtaining a court order can provide critical legal security beyond a birth certificate alone. Marla and Jason also discuss common misconceptions, the adoption process, and how intended parents can take proactive steps to protect their parental rights and their family’s future.
