Questions about adoption..
Don't quite know which board to post this on..
For all you Moms out there.. if you've had a new spouse adopt your child.. can you tell me a little about the process?
Maybe recommend an adoption lawyer?
I don't quite know where to start.. I would like my SO to legally adopt my son once he's born and I am just so lost!
TIA!

I don't know the answer, but i'm curious if you could put your SO on the birth certificate as the father once the baby is born.

i know a girl who did not have a name on birth certificate for her daughter's father, left it blank.
her new husband just added his name to it.

Re: Questions about adoption..
If your SO is the father of your child, you would just need to put his name on the birth certificate. Adoption isn't necessary.
If he's not, I believe you'd need to see a lawyer & speak to the father about terminating his parental rights so that SO can adopt.
You may want to Xpost to the adoption board & the stepparent board.
