Help!!!!!!! Inability to get concise info is driving me nuts. So here`s the scenario: Plan to adopt my fiancee`s son. We plan to get married within one week so that i could begin filing an adjustment of status for them but thats the snag.....
It would be nice to file for them using just one family name but i have no idea how long stepparent adoption takes in New York.
My fiancee is sole custodian of her 5yr old boy.
I have collected forms from the county family court but i need help with the process. Has anyone here gone through the step-parent adoption in NY? I do not believe this is a case for attorneys because i think it is a straight forward case.
Would appreciate any links, suggestions, comments on the process. For instance is there a definite time that i must be married to my fiancee before we can even begin the adoption process or is this at the discretion of the judge?
I just have so many questions and so little resources.
Helppppppp!!!!!!
