    I merged your threads because they are all part of the same issue.

    What you want is for your fiancée to adopt so that the bio father will no longer have a say.

    If the bio father is nowhere to be found, you can get an adoption by making a good faith effort to find him. Sounds like you did that to get the name change.

    You should have an attorney prepare the adoption petition so he covers all the bases.

    One problem may be that you have to be married, posssibly for a period, before you can adopt.

    However, the only impediment to your moving and then proceeding with the adoption in your new location, would be if the bio father filed suit against you. Since that seems an unlikley thing to happen, you might want to take your chances.
