Can I Adopt My Grandchild?

In  Louisiana, an intrafamily adoption is the adoption process by which a family member adopts a minor child who is related to him/her by blood, adoption or marriage.  A grandparent can utilize this process in order to adopt his grandchild.
Ideally, both biological parents of the minor child consent and voluntarily agree to surrender the child to the grandparents for adoption.  However, if a parent is unknown or unable to be located, generally a curator is then appointed to try and locate the parent and notify him/her of the adoption proceeding.  In some instances, such as when a parent has failed to communicate with and support the child for an extended period of time, parental consent may not be required.
A person wishing to adopt a child must submit to a background check and other analysis in order to determine whether the adoption is in the best interest of the child.  After an Adoption Decree is signed, in the eyes of the law, the child is generally viewed the same as if he were the biological child of the adoptive parent.
