From looking through other posts my situation is not a new one but I am very confused. I live in the state of Idaho have been married to my husband for 2 years and together for 4 years. I have 4 children from a previous marriage. The bio-father has not seen or spoken with the children in a year and a half or paid child support since Febuary.
My husband would like to adopt the 3 younger children (the oldest is almost 18 and getting married next year) and they want him to adopt them and be their legal dad as they put it.
We don't have a lot of money and I would like to do as much of this my self as possible to save on cost, but am not sure where to start.
The bio-dad tells mutual friends that it is my fault that he does not talk to the children and has in the past told the children that if I would not have gotten remarried he would see them. Also the bio-dad has a severe alcohol problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
