What is the name of your state? Illinois
The bio. father was gone when I was approx. 3 mos. preg. (the end of a very bad 3yr relationship) I have never attempted to obtain child support, and he has never attempted to establish paternity. At 7mos. preg. I married my 1st husband, when my daughter was born, he signed the birth certificate. After 1yr, we divorsed. During the percedings, he sighed over all legal rights to her. I have been married to my 2nd husband for 11yrs. My daughter wants to ask my husband, her "Dad" to adopt her. Legally where do I start??? Can it be done without the bio.'s concent due to her "legal" father giving up rights???
Please help!!!
