(A) The Stepparent has adopted the child;

(B) The Adoptive Parent who entered into the current Adoption Assistance Agreement requests to have the stepparent added;

(C) The Stepparent meets all the requirements of an Adoptive Parent as set forth in this chapter;

(D) The Department is provided a copy of the adoption decree; and

(E) An amended Adoption Assistance Agreement is signed by both the parent and the stepparent.

In the event the Adoptive Parents are awarded joint legal custody, payment will continue to be made in the same manner as before the divorce, unless both Adoptive Parents agree in writing that a change in payee should occur.
