What is the name of your state? Ohio
My son is getting married and wants to adopt his fiance's daughter. The biological father has not seen her since she was 4 weeks old. She is now 2 1/2 years old. My son has been her "father" since she was 6 weeks old. The bio dad has been ordered to pay child support, which is only received around tax time. He, or his family, have not tried to contact anyone regarding visitation.
What does he have to do to start the adoption process? Is there a certain time frame they have to wait after they get married or can it be started right away?
