What is the name of your state? Virginia.
My husband has custody of a child (that is not biologically his), that he would like to give up for adoption to the child's biological aunt. His former wife (biological mother of child) is deceased and the aunt is the biological mother's sister, she resides in Florida. The biological father lives here in VA, but wants nothing to do with the child; he is even fighting having to take a paternity test to prove that he is indeed the father. My husband knows him to be the father based on the following facts 1.) my husband at the time of conception, was deployed out of country 2.) his wife on her death bed confessed to the true identity of the biological father 3.) her sister (the aunt) says that she has always know the real father's identity, and will sign a sworn statement to that fact 4.) the child looks just like the biological father.
What we need to know is how my husband would go about this adoption with his former sister-in-law. My husband is listed as the father on the child's birth certificate. Once the adoption is final, would my husband's name no longer be on the birth certificate?
Thank you for any help in this matter.
