adoption? Posted: 01-24-08 09:16am
My fiance and I are getting married on the
14th of Feb, and he plans on adopting
Chyanne. What do i need to go about doing
with her real father? He's not on the
birth cert. Does he still need to sign his
rights over? Or can i go about just not
dealing with him?

You should talk to a lawyer.

In your courthouse there may be someone
who can help you for free or low cost. At
least s/he could point you towards the
right information!

he's pretty much been her father for 3
plus years now. I found her real father on
myspace the other day, and wrote him a
note and asked for his info so i could get
it started, and he didn't even want to try
and say he wanted to be apart of her life.
he just said oh well tell her i love
her.........LOL what a pecker

I know, my dad ALWAYS told me he loved me,
and he's saw me probably 5 times in my
whole life. Sick.

My brother adopted his wife daughter after
they we married, She had to have the real
father sign his rights over and made sure
to get his family medical history in case
anything down the road would come up you
would know. I hope this helped. I don't
think she had a lawyer because he just
signed. He didn't put up a fight for her.
I think the longest part was changing her
last name

ya let me tell her some stranger said love
ya
thats my dad too. only worse.
You could probably just call the court
house and ask, if my new husband wants to
formally adopt my other daughter and her
real father is not on her birth
certificate what do I ned to do? they
should be able to tell you something.
My friends husband wants to formally adopt
her oldest but he couldnt til she turned
12 because her real father (whos about as
great a dad as my thumb) wont sign over
his rights. But i guess now that shes 12
she can decide to change her last name or
something like that.
thats my dad too. only worse.
