We need help! The State of Wisconsin wants us to pay an estimated $2000 to escort a prisoner back from TN., over a year ago we started this adoption and was told it would be done in 6 months, now because we can't afford the costs we might have to wait until he is released which could be anywhere from 2003 to 2014.
A little information so you understand the situation, I remarried my ex-wife, during our time apart she had our daughter, the father was sent to prison for sexual assult and was transfered to TN. because of over crowding, our lawyer sent the proper paper work to him and he refuses to sign them, now in order to terminate his rights he needs to be brought back to WI. and the State say's we have to pay for it even though we didn't send him there, we cannot afford that even though she's worth a million times that to me, he is useing her as a tool to make our lives miserable.
Our question is what do we do now? our daughter has no idea he exists and we would like to keep it that way until if and when it is appropriate for her to know.
I hope I gave enough details to get some sort of direction, if not ask and I'll try to get you the iformation you need.
Thanks
Our Lawyer is going to talk to the Judge on the case and try to get him to understand that it's not right that we have to pay to escort the prisoner home, it's not our fault the prisons are over crowded.
We also think that it's time to get some laws changed dealing with sex offenders and their right's, it's a sad day when a convicted sex offender has more right's than a step parent that's providing a loving, stable and safe home for a child.

i total agree w/ you on that the day a sex offender has more right than a "step" parent is a very sad day. i'm looking into adopting my "step" daughter and i can relate to how you feel.
good luck it will happen for you
I'm having the same problem. My youngest son's b/f is in jail in Ohio for child molestation and rape. He'll hopefully die in there. I met a wonderful man and we now share a new baby. I don't really want my hubby to adopt my younger son I just don't want his b/f around him. I have tired everything to have his rights taken and you know what the judge told me " I have no grounds to take his rights. No proof that he would be harmful to our son" HELLO he's in jail for raping 3 children one of which was a 4 year old boy!!!!!!WHAT OTHER PROOF DO I NEED???????? I never want my son around him ever..Atleast not until he's over 18 and makes that choice himself. I have fought the courts about this and even if I wanted my hubby to adopted him he couldn't because it's the b/f choice..What choice does he have?? he's in jail he has more rights to our son then I do.. That's messed up...I honestly feel my son would not be safe alone with him but yet the courts feel he is not a threat. HE'S IN JAIL FOT IT! Did they miss that????
