Ok, here is my question. I live in Southern California. I had a baby 7 almost 8 years ago. The bio father is not around and has not been around since I got prego. That's a good thing. I put "unknown" for the birth fathers name and my son has my maiden name for his last name. My question is, do we still have to try to find the bio father to do the adoption. I'm happily married now to a man who is a great father to my son for the last 7 years. He is more than happy to adopt my son, but how do we do it and will it cost a lot of money if we don't have to locate the "donor"? And my husband seems to think that after 7 years, it's an automatic. So, if something were to happen to me, my son could go to my husband. But we have only been together for 7 years and married for 3. I'm so confused...anyone give me a clue??
I would suggest to buy the book first. Depending on what county you are in is how you go through it and how much you pay. In my county it will cost about 800 dollars. YOu can waive the fee if income qualified, In my county your adoption would be a piece of cake, Because the father is alledges and therer is not one named. did the bio father know you were pregnant? THings may be difficult if you did not tell him . Like I said you need more info . And I do too. But it does sound like a case.
