second-parent adoption

A quick definition of second-parent adoption:

Second-parent adoption is when a person who is not the biological parent of a child legally becomes their parent through a court order. This means that the child will have two legal parents, even if they are not related by blood. This can happen when the child's other parent is already their legal parent, but the second parent wants to have legal rights and responsibilities too. It's like adding another parent to the family!

A more thorough explanation:

Second-parent adoption is a legal process where a second parent, who is not biologically related to a child, can become a legal parent of that child. This creates a parent-child relationship between the child and the second parent, with all the rights and responsibilities that come with it.

  • Two women are raising a child together. One of them is the biological mother, and the other wants to become the child's legal parent through second-parent adoption.
  • A same-sex couple adopts a child together. One of them is already the legal parent, and the other wants to become the child's second legal parent through second-parent adoption.

These examples illustrate how second-parent adoption can be used to establish legal parent-child relationships in families where one parent is not biologically related to the child. It allows both parents to have equal legal rights and responsibilities for the child's care and upbringing.

I think tik tok is evil and coming from a national defense background, working in PSYOP and in the intelligence community I can promise it is.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: Yeah but like half the general officers are compromised so we might as well just give this country to China already. The head of the JAG corps used to tell us how much he loved Tiktok and he was a 1 star. These people should be court martialed. I hope Trump follows through on that promise the most.
