Hi, I too wish to adopt my 2 step sons. Their ages are 13 and 15. I have helped my husband raise them now for over 4 years. Their bio. mother has had no physical contact in over 3 years. The last phone conversation was 2 years ago. I hope to do this without involving alot of money grubbing lawyers. Seems like I could just go before the court and start this process. We live in KY and their bio-mother lives in AR, last we heard...she is mostly in the cross-bar hotel..Congrats to you and yours, Vette
