I have seen all the posts on how to adopt a stepchild but my dilemma is that I have no idea where bio dad is. I filed for divorce March 2012 and it became final Oct 2012 he never responded and we were never able to reach him. I have two children with my husband (we made it official Nov 6 2012 but have been living together since July 2010) My oldest daughter was six when we met and has called my now husband "Daddy" since we met and now that we are married he would like to adopt her. She is aware that he is not her bio dad but he is the only Dad figure she has known and is eager to take his last name. Bio dad has not seen her since she was three and he paid child support for a brief (7/2010-3/2011) time. I know we could go to a lawyer but the divorce was expensive as it is and we just cannot afford it right now....any help will be greatly appreciated..............FYI in case it helps bio dad is an illegal immigrant so no SSI or ID/DL to track.

It is not difficult but there are many steps in getting it accomplished, especially in Tarrant County where they think it's still the wild west and THEY write the law, not legislators in Austin.
I would be glad to help walk you through the process of you doing it yourself. It is NOT hard...just lots of paperwork and things you need to do.
Let me know....
