How long did your adoption process go for?

My new husband wants to adopt my daughter. I would like to know the process of how to go about with a step-parent adoption? My daughter's biological father has not been involved in her life and is aware that my husband would like to adopt my daughter.

  • Answer:

    First of all you will need to get a lawyer involved in this matter. Even if you have full custody of your daughter the father must sign papers stating that he has given the OK for the adoption to take place. I don't believe that you would need a home study or anything like that. However a background check will probably be performed on your new husband's history. I am nto sure of the cost but it shouldn't cost more than perhaps a few hundred to a couple of thousand depending on the lawyer. GOOD LUCK!

You will need the biological fathers consent in order to do that if his name is on the birth certificate. If by any chance you cant find him you can get a lawyer to file a petition with the courts to renounce him as a parent then you can proceed with the adoption. It isnt a very complicated process and you should be able to go to your public library in your state/province to find out the process.
