Be very aware - that your son may still want links to his bio father.
It's nothing to do with you - it's about him - who the people that make up 'him'.
Have you asked him??
Adopting means changing names - and too often original birth certificates are sealed away forever - never being available again to the adoptee once they are fully grown.
At least allow him to keep his bio dad's name within his name - and add yours on the end.
His father may not be important in your eyes - but all of an adoptee's mothers and fathers are important in an adoptee's eyes.
Just be very aware of the full implications.
Children don't need a piece of paper to know who their parents are.
Just be aware of his desires - and put them above and beyond your own.
(be also very aware that children will say whatever it is that they think YOU want to hear) |

contact a lawyer who practices family law
If the father isn't going to protest, the process should be fairly simple. |

You can go to the courts or a attorny and file for adoption. |

FIRST talk to your wife and make sure she's in agreement.
Then contact a lawyer who specializes in adoption.
If you don't know how to find one, ask a family psychologist.
