What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
My fiance would like to adopt my son and my son would also love to be able to call my fiance his father.
His biological father has never been part of my son's life. He has seen him only a few times and my son is 17. We don't know where he is and we don't want to know where he is. It is not in our best interest to try to contact his biological father due to previous emotional and physical abuse. His father stalked me for several years and is it is also recognized by the state of IL that it is not in our best interest to try to contact his biological father. He has never paid any child support and does not have visitation rights.
What can we do?
