One of the biggest obstacles in stepparent adoption is consent from the other biological parent.
Some cases are straightforward. Others are contested. Some involve serious questions about absence, neglect, or whether consent may be excused under Oregon law. That is where careful legal analysis matters most. The legal parent not being around is not always enough. Analysis of contact and support is important to know your likelihood of success if the adoption is contested.
Before you assume you are stuck, get a clear reading of your situation.
