Make sure your lawyer knows the legalities involved when the bio-father is on active duty. I know there have recently been some laws passed to prevent change-of-custody decrees being issued when bio-parent is in war zone. He may need to sign POA or other documents before leaving, or you may not be able to complete the adoption until he returns. Be sure your lawyer is up-to-date on the new regs.
Also,congratulations!
