Child Legitimation, Adoption and Bmom Expenses
My wife and I have been trying to have children for a long time. Well, someone got pregnant for me and this person does NOT want to keep this child, infact wants us to raise the child as ours. We have two options:

1. The bmom is ready to relinquish her parental rights and I can legitimate the child as my biological child. Then my wife can adopt baby in a step-parent adoption, which I understand can be done at the same time. This is the easiest option.

2. We both can just adopt the baby as two adoptive parents. Technically, I am not sure if you can adopt your own biological child.

We found out that the bmom is on medicaid, and it seems that if I legitimate the child, I will be required to reimburse medicaid for the bmom medical expenses. Is this true?
