Quick question...

My husband is in the military and we want him to adopt my son. My son was born in Virginia, but we have been living in TX for seven months. Would we file in TX? There also isn't a father listed on my sons birth certificate. Does this make a difference? I know who the father is, and I think that I could get him to terminate his rights pretty easily, but if this could be avoided, it would be better. I want to do it "pro se" because we can't afford a lawyer. I have the forms for virginia and most of the forms for tx, just unsure of where to get started. All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

katscratch,

Is there any court proceedings in Virginia in regards to your son? If not, then you will need to file in Texas! I hope this helps.
