Thank you for your question. I understand how concerned you must feel in having raised your niece’s daughter with your spouse and currently finding yourself facing a divorce. The short answer is that it may possible for the adoption to take place, however, it is fact sensitive and requires further discussion and analysis. I encourage you to contact an attorney to schedule a consultation to ensure that you are protected.
