My husband wants to adopt my daughter
I have a 7 yr old daughter. The bio father is not in her life and never has been. Her birth certificate only lists myself and is blank where the fathers name should be. She has my last name. However I recently got married for the first time and have changed my last name. My husband wants to adopt her and of course we want her last name to match ours, how do I do all of this? Is it complicated? I want to avoid dealing w/ the bio father if possible.. especially because he has no rights and doesn't want any rights. I live in Washington state. Any help?
My husband wants to adopt my daughter
My husband and I been together for 2 1/2 years. I have a 6 1/2 year old girl. My daughter loves a my husband as her own father because that's all she knows. In the birth cerificate the father is "unknown". The bio father has never been in the pic. He left me once he find out I was pregnant and I raise her all by myself. She has my last name so he has not rights over her. So my question is how easy can the process be for us?
