I wish I lived in your state! In my case, the bio-father had no contact at all for 6 years, plus he was in prison from crimes against the very children his rights were being terminated on, but we still had to notify him. And of course, he objected, but that's another story. I find it strange that a lawyer told you that you didn't have to be married. Of all the research I have done online, I never came across any state that allows that. Even on a legal messageboard which I post at, all the lawyers there say you can't get a step-parent adoption done without being married. Go figure. But if that is how it is in your state...good for you...it will make things easier. Plus if the bio-father consents, that's even better.
