I have been divorced from my first husband for 10 years. We have two daughters together. I have since remarried & have been married for 9 years. My husband wants to adopt my girls. He has been apart of their lives for a long time. They have not seen their bio father for over 10 years. He has not paid a penny in child support. He also has not contacted them in approximately 8 years. We have no idea where he is. He could be in 3-4 different states. When our divorce was finalized I was already living in Texas & he was living in Indiana (in jail). Our divorce was final in Indiana. My girls call my husband "Daddy" & have since they were 6 & 7 years old. They are wanting my husband to adopt them. This was their idea. I have gotten all of the paperwork to hopefully file in Tarrant County where we live. I just don't know what else to do. We don't have a lot of money to spend on a large retainer fee for an attorney. Also my husband has recently gotten custody of his 13 year old son as well. He proved the mother of being unfit. So we have that going for us as well.
Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.
