| A good place to start is at a wedding hall. No one is going to allow someone to commit themselves to a child that won't commit to the mother. In other words... boyfriends don't adopt. Step-parents adopt.

| I understand that. However, I can not get married at this time. I am currently married to a military man whom I have been seperated from for almost 5 years. He has been overseas. Until he is back state side, we can't get divorced. He is protected my the soldier and sailors act. and just for the record, my husband/ex wouldn't consider adoption. He didnt want to adopt my son. |

 Your b/f won't be able to adopt your son before he's 18.

| Wait until he's 18- then son can consent to the adoption and at won't matter who biodad may be.

to: court clerkthis is true, he is not obligted to adobt him, however I think it is pretty *hitty* looking back in retro that he would adopt my two younger girls but not the oldest. They know their father and he wouldn't allow it anyway. But true...not that it matters now. |

Your question was about the legal issue of adoption with no biofather known. BF doesn't have to adopt ANY of them! If you are so gung-ho about adoption and adamant about how great it is to be taking on the responsibilty for a child that is not biologically yours, why don't YOU adopt? From an orphanage? From foster care? Singles adopt every day. Or don't YOU want to be financially responsible for a child that isn't biologically yours?

| DNA is nothing more than that, letters. I was raised by my step father who never adopted me nor asked either. But he is still my dad after 33 years of hime being in my life. He and mom have been divorced for almost 6 years now and nothign has changed. Now back to the issue at hand.... I was just wondering if there was a way to allow him to adopt him or if I should just let it go till he is 18. Guess I got my answer. |

| With publication periods, it makes no sense to attempt this now, when son is almost old enough to simply consent as an adult.

Things DO change. Not on an emotional level, but certainly on a LEGAL level. "Step-parent" is absolutely not the same as "parent" (from a legal point of view)

| Actually, what she probably should do is complete her divorce.

Do me a favor, stop typing. The more you type, the more of an irresponsible nutcase you appear to me as being. You brought all this confusion on yourself and the best thing you can do is apologize to your son for making him live through all of it.
