Something else you may not have thought of and may want to consider is how an adoption may effect any benefits your children may be receiving now from social security survivors benefits or their deceased fathers estate.

An adoption "legally" erases the biological parent. That is about the best way I can describe it. This can possibly effect any benefits your children receive now or may be entitled to in the future from your deceased husband.

Good luck!
