Stepchild adoption in Germany is a legally regulated procedure in which a spouse or life partner adopts their partner’s child. This momentous step strengthens the relationship between the stepparent and the child and legally establishes new rights and obligations. According to the German Federal Statistical Office, stepchild adoptions accounted for 73% of all adoptions in 2023 – and the trend has been rising for years.
