I'm sorry you and your wife have split. I'm a bit confused as to why you want to rescind the adoption though? You say you love the kids and have raised them as your own? That doesn't change with a divorce, does it?

With you as the legal father, you have all the rights to parenting and custody agreements and can have a relationship with your kids?

Do you feel you were duped in order for her to obtain child support for the kids but not have a relationship with you? If that is the case, I'd be angry too. However, in the midst of all this are your children that you love and if you are a father to them, it's figuring out a way to maintain that relationship and putting them first.

Guess it's the old adage of "Love your children more than you hate your ex", if that makes sense.

If you really feel you were duped and the adoption was done under false pretenses on her part, I guess you could contact a family attorney and see what they have to suggest. Maybe consider first though if you really want to be out of the kids lives though and if you really want to not be their dad.
