If stepchildren are adopted, the law no longer recognises the other birth parent as having any parental links with the child. Also, half-brothers and sisters, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins on that parent’s side will then be legally unrelated to the child. Your child will be legally cut off not only from one of his or her parents but from a large section of that parent’s wider family too. This could be confusing or distressing for the child and obviously needs careful consideration. In recent years people have become more aware of how important it is for children to know about their origins. In step-parent adoptions, too, it is important to ensure that, although legal ties may be severed, the child does not completely lose contact with the other parent and his or her relatives.
