[font=Georgia]My stepdaughter is 11 years old. I started dating my wife when my stepdaugher was 10 months old, we got married 6 months later. The biological father is not on the birth certificate, and he saw her 1 time when she was a few weeks old, then left the state to avoid the responsibility of being a father. He hasn't paid a dime of child support. My first question is, will his rights need to be terminated since he's only seen her once in her life? And can I do this without an attorney? I can't afford $1500 right now along with other court fees.I would think that if his name isn't even on the birth certificate, the adoption would be pretty easy to do. I really want to get the adoption done pretty quick because her school won't let her use my last name any more. They did up until last year and they said the laws don't allow it any more, it really upset my daughter, so i need to get this done.[/font]
