My husband wants to adopt my two small children who do not have known biological fathers. Can this be done?

Your husband can definitely adopt your children if the proper procedures are followed.  This is a complicated matter since there is a question about the identity of the biological fathers.  You should consult with a local attorney to sort out all of the particulars, and to assist you with getting this matter done expeditiously.  The attorney fee will differ depending on which attorney you consult, and the time involved will depend on the course of action you and your attorney decide to take.  If you live in or around the Triangle, please feel free to contact us to schedule an initial consultation to discuss this matter. ...
