(1) A stepfather or stepmother must obtain the consent of the biological father or mother to adopt a stepchild;

(2) If a stepparent adopts a stepchild, it is not restricted that the adopter has no children, has the ability to raise and educate the adoptee and has reached the age of 30;

(3) If a stepchild is adopted by a stepparent, it is not subject to the restriction of "under 14 years of age and the biological parents have special difficulties and are unable to support them";

(4) Stepparents who adopt stepchildren are not restricted by adopting one;

(5) Others shall meet the conditions for the establishment of ordinary adoption.

According to Article 6 of the Adoption Law of China, the adopter shall meet the following conditions at the same time:

1, no children.

Childless here includes unmarried childless, married childless and childless due to lack of fertility. Explained, children include both legitimate children, illegitimate children and adopted children. Article 8 of the Adoption Law stipulates that

: "The adopter can only adopt one child" (

Except as otherwise provided by law.

)

It can be seen that those who have adopted children can no longer adopt them.

2. Have the ability to raise and educate the adoptee.

The ability mentioned here is general, not one aspect. When we measure whether we have the ability to raise and educate the adoptee, we should not only consider the economic affordability of the adopter, but also consider whether we have the ability to raise and educate in terms of ideology, morality and health. For example, if parents are unable to support because of bad moral character and misconduct, lose their capacity for civil conduct because of mental illness, or have other circumstances that are not conducive to the healthy growth of the adoptee, they should be considered as lacking the ability to support and educate. We believe that when dealing with specific problems, the requirements for the adopter's ability should generally be no less than the requirements for the guardian's guardianship ability.

3. Not suffering from diseases that are medically considered unsuitable for adopting children.

This is not only to protect the health of adopted children, but also a prerequisite for adopters to raise children. If the adoptive parents have infectious diseases,

It is easy to feed a child sick.

Endangering the health of adopted children

If the adoptive parents are seriously ill, they can't take care of themselves and can't fulfill their obligations of raising children.

4. At least 30 years old.

Considering the nature of the adoption relationship and the time of birth, the law stipulates the minimum age of the adopter. 30

People under one year old still have many opportunities to have children, so there is no need to adopt other people's children as their own children in a hurry. Adoption of children after reaching a certain age can better assume the responsibilities of adoptive parents. Based on the current population situation and population policy in China, it is stipulated that people should be over 30 years old.

It is also more appropriate to adopt a child at the age of one.
