My husband and I are doing our own step parent adoption in Antrim county. My ex is willing to sign off. As a matter of fact he is paying for it. He doesn't want to pay child support and doesn't see the kids. So we told him if he wants to sign off he has to pay for the adoption. You can get the forms at your probate court. In Antrim county, the costs are: filing fee- $160 per child, $30 for fingerprinting of adopting parent, and $26 per birth certificate. Our papers say that the adoption process is usually completed in 6 months. If the non custodial parent consents, this lessens the time frame. Hope this helps.
