I have a 5 yr old son,My husband adopted him 4 yrs ago and his biological father consented to the adoption.Now he is married and wants his rights back.He says the reason he signed the adoption papers was because he was high on drugs and was tricked into signing them.He was very aware of what the papers were and he signed them and paid the notary public to notarize the papers.We went to court without an atty because the judge did not seem to think at that time we would need one.Now we have a new court date and the judge told us to get an atty.So we are paying an atty $2000 to take our case.On the adoption papers it plainly says he had 5 days to contest this adoption.It has now been 4 yrs and i just do not understand why he is getting a chance in court even.And if he was on drugs why did it take him this long to realize that he had made a mistake and did not contact us at all to see my son.When they did call,it was not him,his girlfriend who is now his wife called.I just would like any info that someone might have on a case similiar to this and any opinions on if he even deserves his rights or the title of a dad.My husband has been his DADDY his entire life so why should he have to forfeit his rights now just because the biological father got married and now wants to play daddy?
