How do we start adopting?

  • Posted on January 17, 2011 at 9:20 pm

My husband and I have sort of a unique situation. His 16 month old lives with us and has not seen her bio mom since she was born. She was born addicted as her bio mom was high on crystal meth throughout the prengancy. CPS stated that there is to be NO contact between the two of them whatsoever. I am this little girls mom, in essences, as i’ve raised her and im the only one she knows.

Now- my husbands exwife (our babys bio mom) has contacted us and expressed a desire to give up her parental rights in exchange for not having to pay childsupport or back child support that is owed. We want this very much but i dont know how to do it.

Once she gives up these rights i’m free to adopt our daughter, correct? how do we go about doing that?

ok so about 9 months ago my husband and i were wanting to adopt my husbands sisters daughter cuz my s.i.l. is hooked on drugs (meth and oxycotin) well she was acting like she didnt want to and my f.i.l. said he was going to so we left it alone. my f.i.l. hasnt done anything to help the baby out at all. well i went over to my in laws house today to pick up some mail and my s.i.l. was there and just out of the blue asked ”so what were you guys going to do with my sara”. she wasnt asking in a rude way but more like she was interested,then my f.i.l. jumped in and said how if any one takes the child its going to be him. my husband wants to take the baby really bad, where shes at she doesnt have a room,and she just gets yelled at alot, she has no insurance,nothing. all my f.i.l. does is yell at everyone to take care of her. i told my husband about what happened and he said to talk to his sister and get the baby. what would you do?
a few more details- my husband is in overseas,and he has talked to his dad and his dad tells him the same thing, his sister sounds like she wants us to adopt her daughter.

im 8 months 2 weeks pregnant.
my husband comes back in july if that helps.
niece is almost 2
