What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington
When my son was 10 months old we left the state of Texas because his father was heavily into drugs. I waited a year to file for divorce to give him a chance to clean up and make an effort. He never did, so we divorced. He did not contest it. I received custodial rights to our son. It has be 3 and half years now. My son is almost 4. I am remarrying in a week and my fiance has been around my son for over 2 years now. My son calls him dad. After we marry we are moving forward and he is filing to adopt my son. My son't biological father has made no attempt at all to be in my son's life. I attempted to file for child support, but support enforcement could not find him. I also tried to go through an attorney and they were also unable to locate him. Everything seemed just fine until yesterday. I received a letter in the mail with a $50 money order in it from his biological father. I am not sure what to do at this point. He is not a good man. Because he made this one attempt is going to make things very difficult in the adoption process for us?
