Portland, OR family law attorney Emily Robert stalks about the different kinds of adoption. In the realm of adoption, any adult has the capacity to adopt either a child or another adult. Adults, in turn, are also open to being adopted. The spectrum of adoption encompasses various types, ranging from stepparent adoptions, where an individual who has remarried seeks to have their new spouse adopt a child, to relative adoptions. This may involve grandparents, aunts, uncles, or even siblings. Additionally, there are non-relative adoptions, characterized by individuals unrelated to the child or adult seeking to adopt.
