What is the name of your state? Iowa
My husband and I have been married for 5 years. I have an 8 year old son from a previous relationship, and my husband and I have three children togother. My husband would like to adopt my son. We have been together since he was two. My son's biological father has never been involved. He has recently begun to pay court ordered child support. I spoke to him once, three years ago, and he had no problem with my husband adopting my son.
My questions are:
Is it ok to ask the biological father to pay for or help pay for the adoption?
Is there a way to complete the non-contested adoption with out paying a lawyer?
Thanks for any advice!
