My daughter is 9 and has been raised by my husband since she was 4. Her biological dad has never been around, ordered to pay support and has not worked to hide from that. My husband would like to adopt her. Is this something we can tackle on our own, what are our options. We do not have much money and would probably never be able to afford an attorney. i am quit sure the bio-dad would sign his rights away just to get out of support. I feel like since we do not have much money my daughter will be losing out on being adopted. I am not sure of our laws here and have been trying to find them but am not doing so well. any help would be great.
Thanks
It's not necessary. The man raising her can be a father figure in her life without going through adoption.
If he adopts her, they will seal away her birth certificate and her rights to the facts of her own life will be compromised. Also in the event of divorce your husband would have equal rights to custody of your child.
