Re: child adoption

You can bring an action to try to obtain custody of the child and/or to adopt the child. You are legally the child's sibling at this time, but if there are no other relatives more closely related, then you should stand a good shot at custody.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
