Step-parent adoption?


Question: I will be getting married soon and my fiancee would like to adopt my daughter as his stepdaugther. The paternal father has only seen her twice when he showed up at my door and demanded to see her- otherwise he never bothers to call or bother with us. His name is not on the birth certificate and there is no actual proof of his paternity. Do I need his consent for my future husband to adopt her after the marriage?
Answers: as long as his name is not on the birth certificate and he does not pay child support you shouldn't have any problems with having your soon to be husband adopt your daughter
yes ,,,tell your future hasband to sign the birth certifacte if he wants to adopt your daughter.
First, for the birth-father. WHAT a JERK!
Second, for the step-father-to-be. WHAT A GREAT GUY!

Children need two parents. Now she will have a father. You BOTH are very lucky to find this guy.
Ok you need to go to an atty. Tell the atty you don't know where he is. Where I'm at you then have to run a newspaper ad in the classifieds for 2 weeks stating that there is an adoption taking place and so-in-so is requested to come forward. Most people don't even see it. Then if he stay away your good to go and can get the home study and go to court.
I'v been thru this but my son's sperm doner signed his rights over for him to be adopted.
You will need an attorney,And your daughters father will have to sign over his rights,even though he is not on the birth certificate,The courts will want you to prove paternity most likely.But as long as he signs over his rights you can send off for a new birth certificate with your husband as the birth father,Good luck.Your daughter is a lucky girl
The best answer to this will come from an attorney in your state.
