How do I go about adopting my oldest daughter? The other adoption thread got me thinking about this, my wife has brought it up before but that's about all that's been done.
Her "father" doesn't see her or pay child support, which is fine with me, but she's getting to the age that she's starting to ask a lot of questions and you can see how bad she hurts when we try and explain things to her. She's got a younger brother and sister and doesn't understand why her name is different than ours. Or why she has to go to his house once every 3-8 months (he's gone as long as a year without seeing her). She doesn't have a bed or clothes over there and she always tells us how there is a lot of people around all the time. Has anyone else been through this?
Anyone have any pointers?
I've heard it's pretty costly to get all this done but it'd be worth it if we didn't have to deal with him anymore.
