Can a convicted felon adopt his step children?
Hi,
My fiancé is a convicted felon. He has now been going to a technical school, made the president's list, he works and he is wonderful to my kids. Their biological father is nothing to them and has not been since they were born. Over the course of about 10 years, he was maybe around for 4 of those total (AND NOT CONSECUTIVELY). My fiancé wants to adopt my children after we are married. Will his felony prevent him from doing so?

It was for robbery. He has been out for 2 years. Their father will probably sign because he will be free of child support (which he doesn't pay anyway because he doesn't work).

Thank you for your help. We are not getting married until September of 2011 but I just wanted to know if anyone knew about this since I will be pursuing this after we are married. That is of course unless there is a specified time of marriage requird

I realize that. I just wanted to get a head start on all of the details first. I intend to look further into it myself just wanted to get some knowledge from others if possible first! Thank you!
