posthumous adoption

Read a random definition: United States Botanic Garden

A quick definition of posthumous adoption:

Posthumous adoption is when someone is legally adopted after they have already passed away. Adoption is when a person becomes the child of someone who is not their biological parent. This happens when a court decides that the child is an orphan, has been abandoned, or their biological parents have lost their parental rights. Adoption gives the child all the same rights and responsibilities as if they were the biological child of their adoptive parents. Posthumous adoption is when this happens after the person has died.

A more thorough explanation:

Posthumous adoption is a type of adoption that occurs after the death of the adoptive parent. It is a legal process that creates a parent-child relationship between the deceased parent and the adopted child.

For example, if a person dies before they can adopt a child, their family members may choose to pursue a posthumous adoption to ensure that the child is legally recognized as their grandchild or niece/nephew.

This type of adoption is only possible if the deceased parent had expressed a desire to adopt the child before their death. It is also important to note that posthumous adoption can only occur if the child is an orphan or has been abandoned, or if the biological parents' parental rights have been terminated by court order.

Overall, posthumous adoption is a way to honor the wishes of a deceased loved one and provide a stable and loving home for a child in need.
