My husbands brother's wife had an affair and had a baby from that affair. She (baby) came to live with us at about 2 weeks old.(They are now divorced) She has been with us for over 2 years. We took the parents to court for Full custody and after months of fighting things the Father didn't show up to the last court date and we were granted full custody. Mom has no official visitation but maybe sees her once every 3 months, nothing ever steady either "if she can find the time" She never comes to our home but since we allow the bio moms family to see her every two weeks that is usually where she sees her mom. Dad has had absolutely no contact since we have had full custody. We would like to adopt her now and are wondering what are our chances? We don't want to stir the pot and have the parents get any visitation (They're not good people, There's just no proof of this on the books). Should we just lay low with Full custody? Thank you for your help.
