Hi, I'm Randall Hicks...

Welcome to The Stepparent Adoption Center, my transparent flat-fee law office dedicated to step parent adoptions in San Diego, Orange, Riverside & San Bernardino Counties -  and beyond. For almost four decades as an attorney I've limited my practice to adoption. The goal of this website is to give you more details than any other attorney on stepparent adoption. The laws, procedures, costs... it is all explained for your particular county. This website is dedicated to the stepparent adoption of children under age 18. If your stepchild is 18+, that is an Adult Adoption, a different process. Please visit RandallHicks.com.

Please click on your county below to learn more about adopting your step child. There is also an Advanced Q and A page for complicated step parent adoption legal issues, like terminating the rights of absent parents, birth father rights, et cetera. And to learn more about my client reviews, experience and qualifications, please click here.

I hope these pages are helpful to you, and I wish you success in your stepparent adoption.
