Has anyone ever done a step parent adoption? How did you go about discussing it with the children before hand? Children are between 5-10. Youngest is ecstatic, oldest is having trouble talking about it. Bio has had no contact for 6 years.

My step dad adopted me when I was 11. I was so excited. Worried at first about if my bio dad ever found out… but he was a pos that left when I was 1. My dad is an amazing man. He walked me down the aisle and treats me no different than his blood. Explain that even a step dad can be a real dad, but dont push the decision. Let it be completely up to them.

Yes it went smooth saling
My dad adopted me when I was in the second grade… all I remember is my mom asked me if I wanted the same last name as her… of course I said yes and I got a dad out of it
Just went through this with my son he’s 10. He was super excited. We discussed it with him before went went through with it, to see if that’s what he wanted and he said yes.
