Step parent adoption takes place then parents divorce later on?

I'm curious- if you have been through this, has anything changed? Like obviously the parent that adopted the child has as much right to the child as any other parent in a divorce case, but did the parent treat the child differently? Were there biological children involved? Did the child feel treated differently? Step parent adoption takes place then parents divorce later on?
i was adopted by a step parent(father)


he went on to have his own daughter with my mother and yes i was treated as a step child


told for the first 10 yrs of my life he was my real father


then at around age 11 told he had adopted me


became awkward after that


then abusive................tons of fun


i dont believe in adoption if you still have one real parent in tact

I haven't been thru it, but I did adopt my step daughter. My husband and I talked at length about what would happen in the event of a divorce. The facts are that he risks losing custody should we divorce, or I risk having to pay child suppot until she is 18.





We have a biological child together and so my step daughter would be treated no differently than he would in a divorce situation.





I don't treat her any differently now, so I know I wouldn't then. She is mine the same as my other kids are. I don't know if she will feel any different than my bio kids do. I hope she dosen't.



I know a woman who convinced her new husband to legally adopt her son (from a prior marriage). They divorced within a few years and the new ';dad'; never had any kind of relationship with his ';son'; following the divorce.





I think the mother pushed for the idea of adoption because the new ';dad'; was from a wealthy, well-known family. She wanted the boy to have their name.
MY exhusband has been in my daughter's life since she was an infant. HE is really the only father that she's knows. We were married when she was 5 and divorced 4 years later. He adopted her about a month after we were married.


He has been and always will be her father. She will never consider another man to be her Daddy. HE is the one there for her. HE is the one that raised her.


But I do have to say that he probably does have more of a bond with our son, as I have more a bond I think with my daughter. Because even tho he IS her father, a part of me still claims her as ';mine'; if that makes sense. I don't mean to do that, but I just do. She doesn't feel like she is treated differently at all, she is just naturally closer to me. Maybe its a girl thing.
I actually know of a couple who did this.My next door neighbor had a daughter from a previous relationship (dad in jail for life and signed away his rights) when she met her new man, they married and he adopted her.








9 years later, they got a divorce and she still comes to his house on the weekends along with the couples 1 and 3 year old.He treats her like his other kids.





At first, the mother tried to take his rights away...she was unsuccessful.Now she is content with him being her father.
