My husband has raised my daughter since she was 18 months old. He is the only father that my daughter has ever known. My daughter is now turning 11 and she wants my husband to adopt her, and wants very much to change her last name because, it's from someone she deson't even know. The last time her biological father saw her, was at the age of two.

A couple of years ago, I contacted my ex-boyfriend, to ask him to sign off his parental rights and had my daughter talk to him and explain that it was what she wanted as well, because she wants her daddy the only father that she has ever known to adopt her. Well, he flat out refused and now out of no where two and a half years later, he is asking the courts for visitations. He is a comlete stranger Who by the way, had once gotten supervised visits when my daughter was 2 and stopped showing up for visits and court, and so the case was dismissed. there is a serious reason why the visits were supervised; all I can say is that he is not someone I would want the courts to award visitations to. My daughter is happy, has a wonderful relationship with the ONLY father that she knows and wants, all we want is to possibly get help in seeking involuntary termination of parental rights, so that my husband could adopt her. Any advice? What will happen now? Will my husband not be able to pursue adopting her? She wants to have nothing to do with her biological dad. Is there anything that we can do? [color=blue]
