are any of your childrens biological fathers named on birth certificate as my dd's isn't and i want my partner to adopt her

hi my husband is wanting to adopt my 2 children from a previous relationship when the social services came the other day they wanted my ex details so they can contact him for his permisson even tho he doesn't see them just got to hope he isn't arkward and makes things easy for us

Whwn I spoke to my solicitor abotu certain issues.. i was also informed that you would definately need the biological dads permission else the chances of it going ahead were slim.  We didn't want to go down this route though.

You can always try though.... I do believe you can apply to the courts for the judge to decide if it can go ahead or not, but being that the biological dad doesn't know about the child then I would say you have a good chance.  However I would say that its best for the child to know the situation, My son has known step dad since he was 11 months old (he is now 6)and he doesn't see his dad, although we have tried.... but we have alway said he has two dads, one that made him but he doesn't see and another one that is here all the time.

hi there

me and my partner looked into this a few months ago were in the same situation almost in that my daughters bio father doesnt have any contact with her,but we was told that we would have to get his permission.

and replying to what the other part of your thread says i have just told my daughter a couple of days ago that my current partner is not her real father,she is 5 and has known him since a yr old,so as u can imagine this was an extremely difficult thing to tell her . personally judging from how my daughter took it i think that this was the right age to do tell her,i dont think she quite crasped the whole thing i was tryin to tell her but she did get upset  and asked some very mature questions and with a few tears between us all she was quickly talkin about a totally different subject.so goes to show how quickly a young child can switch there mind off to such a major thing.

i feel so releved for telling her and now i just have to wait till she decides she wants to ask some more questions about it.but as for the adoption side of your thread as far as i no in the area i live u have to have persmission,that may differ where u come from tho.hope this helps in some sort of way

You could just say that you didn't know who is bio father is.

You have to ask yourself if you can with hold that information from your son. It part of who he is. Yes it maybe easier but things have a way of coming out in the wash. If he is an alright guy what didn't you tell him?

Sorry if this is long but similar to some other people on here looking for info regarding my partner adopting my first son.> >

>>We’ve been together for 5 years at the end of this month and my partner has taken on my first son as his own as well as us having a 2yr old together, and he wants to adopt our first.> >

It’s a complicated situation in as much as my first son’s biological father doesn’t “technically” know that he has a son. My first child was the result of a one night stand after a works night out (both the pill and condoms failed!, so please no preaching) and he did ask if there was a chance he was the father (twice actually!) and I said no ((I was in an on/off relationship at the time which ended during the pregnancy and DNA tests confirmed that my ex wasn't the father), but in all honesty I should have told him at the time that as I'd slept with him there was always a chance it could be his).

My son has only ever known my partner as daddy (he was just over 1yr when we met) however when I had to leave work due to having no childcare just after first child was born I had to give the details of my son’s father to the CSA (if I didn’t they’d have suspended my benefits) and they have never been able to contact him, however I have managed to find him using various sites on the internet to the extent I now have his DOB, details of where he works and what city he lives in (goodness knows how CSA couldn’t find him if I could but that’s another story).

If my partner and I decide to go down the road with him looking to adopt my son would the biological father have to be informed/give his permission.> >

I really hold no grudge against the biological father as to his knowledge he doesn’t have any children (unless he’s had any since!), I think in my own mind I am really asking do I have to rock the boat and let him know he has a child (the unforeseeable future has always scared me re: possible blood / organ donation etc) and think he really should know before I just proceed with my partner adopting his son without him knowing or should I just let him get on with his own life?> >

Sorry for the length and thank you in advance for reading and any advice offered
