Second Parent Adoption?
|
Me and my partner have been together for 10 yrs and are having a baby through AI in about 8 weeks. We already have a 8 yr old. We are desprite to get any help in Louisiana that may help my partner get as much custody as possible of both children.
We have both raised our first child and feel that it is ashamed that she has no rights over her.
We believe we are great parents and our first child is amazing and we could not ask for a better life and family. I sometimes forget that our family is so different and so unacceptable and in times like this it makes me realize that it is not assumed that my partner may get custody of both children if something happens.
What can we do? I don't believe second parent adoption is legal in Louisiana.

I have to give it to you because me and my partner don't have any kids and we are looking into adoption and her have one, but it is hard. It goes through my head all the time. What if something happens to her what will happen to our kids. I mean I am vary close to her family and we are looking into getting married, but I told her she will have to leave it in a will or something because if her family took our kids away from me I don't know what I will do. I know you are going to have to research it for your state and see what they say, but if all fails make a will and let each others family members know what where you want the kids to go with. I hope and wish the best for you guys. Take care |
