    Can my boyfriend adopt my daughters?
    My boyfriend of 4 yrs wants to adopt my girls, their bio dad isn't in the pic. He doesn't have to pay child support and can't take care of himself physically/financially and is addicted to his RX meds. He also has whores/drug addicts at his little travel trailer which as an electrical cord from there to his moms next door for electricity. He has been arrested for domestic abuse and e has talked about giving up his parental rights before. (Texas) HELP! Q: is there a website that will let you download these kinds of forms? Of course, I'm going to get a lawyer.

    Well first you need to get married. Texas law allows a step parent adoption only where there is a step parent.

    Once you have been married for the legal minimum (Usually a year), you can then petition for the adoption. If you plan on hiring a lawyer, then let the lawyer prepare all the forms. If the bio father will agree to the adoption, it will be fairly simple.
