Please help...
Are there any step-moms out there who want to adopt their step-children? I see mostly men who want to adopt there stpe-children, but not many step-mothers. I would like to adopt my 12 year old step-daughter (with her and my husbands blessing) and her birthmom hasn't talked to her in over a year now. She would never sign the papers to do it and she doesn't pay child support (because that was how they had it arranged over 10 years ago and my husband didn't want to fight it.) We have spoken to some lawyers and they said that because she doesn't pay CS it would be a harder case to win. Has anyone here ever won a case off of pure abandoment (not seeing or contacting the child for at least one year)? Is it even possible. Please help, it is a tough road ahead I think.
