| What are the laws in new york regarding my fiance adopting my son? |
| My son will be 5 and since the age of 1 1/2 my fiance has been the only father he knows. My ex husband has had next to no contact with me or my son for the last 4 years. I was awarded sole custody during my seperation from my ex husband, in which he didnt contest or askf or visitation. Nor did he ask for visitations during our divorce. He hasnt seen my son in more than 2 years. If he happens to call me it is more to talk to me that about my son. A full year or more has gone by and i have not heard from him nor do i know where he is currently living. |
| We have recently adopted three half siblings from the foster system in AZ, ages 4, 6, and almost eig |
| we had them as foster children, but have no bond with the oldest. We were told by the foster/ adopt agency they would never consider separating them and ultimately we felt pressured to adopt all three. We hoped things would get better, but they haven''t. Is it legal for us to place the oldest up for adoption. We would like to find a family in the area so she could maintain some contact with her siblings. We get an adoption subsidy for each child. Could her subsidy be transferred to the new parents. |
