The mother of my two step-children has not seen them in over four years. She didn't show up to the last court date all those years ago and the no-contact order has remained in place. Being a meth addict, she resorted to identity theft and check forging to support her habbit, causing her to spend a lot of time in jail over these past few years. Now we are told she lives in a motor home with no address. About once a year Child Support sends us a check. Two were for about $5.00 and one was about $25.00, so does this mean there is no abandonment?

Here is the dilema. The older child has a different biological father. The biological father is from another state and was a jail bird too, and since conception has never had contact with the birth mother or the child.

We are wanting to do something to secure the future of these children in the event something happens to my husband. I can't imagine them being placed in the care of their birth mother.

Any suggestions? What would you do?
