I have just gotten married and my husband wants to adopt my children. Ages 11 and 13. We live in the state of Pennsylvania. The children are in agreement, of course, and really only know him as a "father-figure". The bio. Dad has never supported them or been any part of there lives. He has seen them may be 4 times in the past 10 years, and never paid anything to help raise them. Have been trying for years...nobody can locate him..but that's another issue. I am not sure that I can even locate him.
How do we begin? Is there anyway that we can file the papers ourselves? Where can we obtain the papers? What is the av.cost of something like this? Afterwards, can the children change there last name if they want to?
