My son is 9 years old. He has not had any contact with his biological father. He has never tried to set up visitation or pay child support. I am engaged to be married this summer. My fiancee and son would like to proceed with an adoption after we are married. Do you have to wait a certain amount of time after you are married to proceed with an adoption? What could happen if the biological father will not terminate rights? Does he have any rights if he has never contributed to my son's welfare (emotionally or financially)?
