| | Open Adoption What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Louisiana
My husband and I are trying to adopt a 4 year old who is not related (biologically) to us. Her parents are not married and the mother has full custody. The father has said he will sign whatever documents needed.
What steps should we follow?
Thank you.

Second, follow his directions.
