My soon to be husband wants to adopt my 7 year old son.?
|
I have a wonderful 7 year old son. His biological father abandoned him when he was almost 2 years old. He hasn't seen him in about 5 years. The last time I spoke with him was right after our divorce was final. I asked when he was going to visit with our child. His answer was: "I don't want to, tell him that I'm dead." I've never relayed that message. When my son used to ask where his Dad was I was only able to say: "I don't know where he is, but I know that he loves you very much." because I didn't know what else to say. He stopped asking after a few months. Now, five years later my soon to be husband would like to adopt him. I am in New York State. What do I need to do in order to make this go smoothly and without any protests from biological father? I just don't want anything to go wrong with this. My child deserves a loving Father and role model.. my sweetheart wants to give him that.

awwww you guys are really cool! All three of you... and thanks. I would have emailed you personally, but some have their emails blocked.. so I am doing it here. Also want to clarify that he has not physically seen him for you last 5 years. I own a business in the local area and he knows how to find me if he ever wanted to make contact.. nothing in 5 years. I am hoping that we don't have to ask him, because as far as I'm concerned, he lost that right when he refused to be a part of his life. I have been documenting missed visits (yes, I have 5 years of calendars marked with "no show" on his visitation days. I hope that will help us. Thanks for all the happy well wishes. I believe that everything happens for a reason. :) That ask esq. site was the best, by the way. I was on it for hours last night! Great information!!
