My husband wanted to adopt my child

[grahamw48]

I have 2 lovely Filipino step kids too.

We have a brilliant relationship, and they are really close to my son, their half-brother.

I never saw the need to adopt.

the only problem with being a step parent is you do not automatically have Parental responsibility, which is defined as ‘all the rights, duties, powers, responsibilities and authority which, by law, a parent of a child has in relation to the child and their property’.Parental Responsibility is the bundle of rights and duties relating to a child. Duties include providing clothing, a home, an education and making sure no harm comes to the child.
