Quote From: barberlady Hello! I hope i am where I should be, and that I don't offend anyone here, but it seems the situation I'm about to reviel is of lesser importantce than that of what i've read here, but if there is anyone out there that can help, it would sure make a dad, and a 15 year old girl who's been made to feel unimportant, important.
My boyfriend today, married 10 years ago, a woman who got pregnant when she was 16. When he married her, the baby was 18 mo, old. The "baby" is now 15 yrs old. Last year, the only dad she's known, and her mom divorced. My b/f got custody of their mutual son,at the time 9 yrs. This summer, the birth father she was never allowed to meet, died in his early 30's. She was told about him, and got to go to his funeral and meet the family she's been denied all along. For whatever reason, I feel I have to believe the mom had a good reason to do so.... anyway, today, the mom has given my boyfriend custody of her 15 yr old daughter, and shes moving in with her boyfriend she acquired before the breakup and divorce. How does my boyfriend go about legally adopting the 15 yr old girl now that her mom gave her to him? He wanted to years ago, but didn't think it was necessary since her mom and he were married. He wants to do this right this time. He's a great dad,and I think she's lucky, and so does she!lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
