Second Parent Adoption Seminar 2020
December 9, 2020
Within the LGBTQ+ community, it is often in the parents’ best interests to pursue a second parent adoption for their child. While both parents are most likely already providing care and parenting the child, oftentimes only one parent has legal parental rights even if both names occur on the birth certificate.
Howard Brown’s Alternative Insemination program hosted a conversation about second parent adoption for LGBTQ+ couples. Guests listened to Dr. Maria Nanos, LCSW, PhD and Greenlight attorney Ashley Reed live via Zoom as they discussed the importance of legal custody through adoption.
