What to expect next on stepparent adoption
Originally Posted By Ann
My husband and I have recently filed to adopt my 12 year old son. The biological father at this point has not responded to a concent to adopt letter. He has not bothered with seeing his son in over 5 years and the only way we get child support is when DCSE catches up with him. I now understand that our attorney is going to file the petition under abandonment and have him served. Exactly what does this mean! Will the biological father be at the hearing? Can he fight the adoption at the hearing? Can he at that point request visitation after all these years? Exactly what should we expect? Worried about the outcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your lawyer will be more able to tell you what will happen because the laws of your state are likely different than mine...
