Even if his Bio-Father has never been in his life the fact that his name is on the Birth Cert. You and your spouse must try and find him and ask him if he will sign the adoption form. My friend had to go through this. Sometimes it is better to get legal help than do it yourself.

There are dozens of threads that deal with this question. The best answer is to consult a local Family Law attorney. You really want an attorney to properly prepare the paperwork for this. The attorney will explain exactly what needs to be done.
Despite the bio-father's absence, an attempt must be made to get him to agree to the adoption. If he will agree, this will be fairly simple. If he won't then it could pose a problem. |
