I have been with Phyllis for over 4 years and with my heart problems my health has not been very healthy. I would like to have Phyllis adopt my kidsso that one, they can be on her insurance and I dont needto argue with my ex anymore, two incase I die I want my kidsto have the consistency they have always had with Phyllis & II want them to have so many things that there is not enoughroom on here. My main concern is cutting out the middle manmeaning my ex... it would be my rights except for things likevisitation and such, I dont know if I can do it on contingencythat if I die but, I doubt it.Is there a way I can do the adoption with out him knowing... Does it change the child support then as well? Thank you for taking the time to readmy questions.

Since you state that he visits regularly, it seems unlikely that he would be willing to legally relinquish his parental rights. However, this is really a legal question, and the laws related to adoption also vary somewhat from state to state. So, I strongly encourage you to consult with an attorney in your own state about what is legally possible. Regards,Kathleen Silber
