What’s the best way for my husband to legally adopt my child?

Answered 5 years ago by attorney Jon R. Vittitow   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Adoptions
You can do a step parent adoption.  If the biological father does not voluntarily sign a consent to the adoption, his parental rights can be terminated involuntarily for failure to maintain a meaningful relationship with the child for at least 12 of the past 14 months; or terminated for failure to provide support to the child for the same time period.  If a process server cannot find the bio dad, then you can ask the court for permission to serve him by publication in the newspaper.  I can help you complete the process when you are ready to proceed. ...

My step mom adopted me at 18 but I want my biological mother on the birth certificate. How do I get my biological mother her rights back.

Answered 5 years and 2 months ago by attorney Robert John Wagner, Esq.   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Adoptions
As an adult, you can do another adult adoption so you biological mother is reinstated as your legal mother.  You can inherit from her as it is, but doing an adult adoption would reinstate her to a status where if something happened to you, she would legally be your Mom. There are NOT many steps to an adult adoption, but it would be much easier to do with an attorney in or near the county where you live.... Read More
