My fiance wants to adopt my children, but I'm not sure about it. As much as I "dislike" their Bio-Father for outright refusing to support them or be a part of their lives , I don't know how they would feel about him when they got older. What if they find out about their Bio-Father and want to get to know him or his family? What if the marriage fails or my fiance has a change of heart about being their father? Is there any way for my fiance to have authority in the kids lives, maybe a guardianship for in case something happened to me, without terminating their Bio-Father's rights forever? My fiance has been breaking his back to care for us as a family, he deserves the "Father" status, but at the same time, don't I owe it to my children to allow them the opportunity to know their Bio-Father if they so choose in the future (only 4 and 5 years old now)? What are my options?
