You wake up early to get the kids to school on-time. During lunch, you and your spouse “game plan” the night’s activities, who’s taking the kids to practice, who’s getting groceries, who’s helping with homework… It’s just life. And you wouldn’t change it for the world. At the end of every hectic night the kids squeeze your neck and say, “I love you, Dad,” or “You’re the best, Mom.” You’re their everything.
MAKE IT OFFICIAL.
The stepparent adoption process can be a very straightforward process without lots of fighting, anger, anxiety, or expense. Many times, fear of fights with the biological parent or concerns about costs keep the real parent from making it official.

YOUR FAMILY
You know you’re a family. Everything you do is for your family. Still, there are some things you can’t do without that a piece of paper stating you’re the parent. Let’s get that piece of paper. There is a process involved, but it’s the One Last Step to take.
WHAT IS
ONE LAST STEP?
THE PROCESS
At One Last Step, we make sure you are able to adopt, and we make sure the child can be adopted. We gather information from you, put it into pleadings, and then take you to court to complete that One Last Step.
The One Last Step is a way to efficiently make it official…. And that means no more “step” titles.
