The Stepparent Adoption Center provides stepparent adoption legal services to families throughout Los Angeles County. I've limited my law practice to adoption for 39 years, and about a decade ago I decided to open this office focusing on stepparent adoption. As you will learn on these pages, we are unique. Besides offering more experience in stepparent adoption than likely any attorney in California, we offer free Zoom consultations and a low flat legal fee of $2,500. Most importantly, serving our clients is our number one priority. (We also assist clients in surrounding counties when appropriate.)
If you are adopting a step child under age 18, you are in the right place. Please explore our pages here to learn about the process: the laws, procedures, timetable and cost, specifically for Los Angeles County. If you are adopting a step child who is 18+ (or any adult for that matter), that is called adult adoption and is a different legal process. To learn more about that please visit our Adult Adoption Center.

"Randy made the adoption process easy. I signed paperwork and he did the rest. It did take a few months to get a court date but was well aware of the date in advance. Everything was virtual which made it even easier. Highly recommend Randy when it comes to adult adoptions."
