I'm a military dependent living overseas - my husband is AD. We filed pro se a petition for stepparent adoption with the courts back in VA (my state of legal residence). The bio father consented to the adoption by signing the affidavit. The petition was reject b/c we listed our current address as our overseas base address (military FPO,AP). How can we do a stepparent adoption from overseas? We still maintain a residence (home) back in the city we filed the petition - should we just change the address on the petition to reflect the VA address? Is there another way to go about this? Of course Navy Legal does not handle state matters. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
