This is a little complicated so I will try to make it short. I live in Louisiana to start. My daughter is 8 yrs. old and has never seen or had any contact with her biological father. My now ex husband has raised her from the day she was born, supported her emotionally and financially even now that we are divorced. She knows the truth as of a year ago for reasons I won't go into here. I have had contact with the bio dad in the past 8 years but he is NOT on the birth certificate( noone is) and he has never seen her other than a photo and has never sent her any money or even a christmas card. I am wondering what needs to be done for my ex to legally adopt her. She wants to have the same last name as her sister(our 5 yr old ) and her "daddy". Like I said earlier, she knows that he is not her real dad but that in every way but blood, he is and always will be. Can someone give me some insight on this b/c my ex is a wonderful man and he has been her dad for 8 years and I feel that it's time to make it legal.
I hope I didn't ramble on and if anyone needs anymore info. please let me know.. Thanks a bunch.
