What is the name of your state? Nebraska
I have a very unique situation. I am the natural mother and had a child out of wedlock very young. I had then married another man. We went through all the legal steps to have him adopt the child. We went on to have three more children together. Unfortunately, we have divorced. For reasons of his own, he is now wanting to reveal to her (who is only 13) that she was adopted by him. I TOTALLY DISAGREE. Do I have any leg to stand on with this issue?? Part of this agreement so many years ago, is that the natural father was never to be contacted or his whereabouts revealed. I am afraid that if we totally disagree that he will take it upon himself to reveal this to her. I believe that this will be totally devistating to a 13 year old to take. Can I step in and take a legal stance at all as to what is best for this child???
Please help.
