I am new here and looking for some information...
My daughter's father is not in her life, has a court order to pay child support, but doesn't; doesn't ask about her, doesn't ccall. just doesnt care. in our court agreement he does have visitation but does not use it.
I am getting ready to marry my fiance who is not my daughters father but she calls him daddy and hes been her father since she was 15 months old (shes 3 going on 4). I am looking for information on what and how it works for my fiance to adopt her... a few people have told me that i will have to find my daughters father and tell him (even tho hes basically abandoned her). or that i have tp be married for over a year before we can have my fiance adopt her...
can anyone help me out?? :thanks:

Hi, We're kinda in the same boat, but vice versa..its my hubbys ex who has abandoned the kids. We are currently in the process of me adopting. If they dont contest(she has not) then its a piece of cake. I would suggest you call an atty for a consultation..most are free. Im not sure of the laws there, but here you have to be married and for a certain period of time before he can adopt. I think step parent adoptions are a beautiful thing, and i hope and pray for the best for you both!!:cheer:
