How does my hubby adopt my child?

Question

My daughter and i migrated to USA from Australia a couple of years ago. I have full custody of her in Aust' and her biological father has nothing to do with her nor pays child support. My hubby would like to adopt her...she is not a citizen here in USA just a permanent resident so do i we have to go through an Australian attorney or can anyone refer me to an attorney here in WV that can guide me.

Answer 1

Well her father has to sign over rights if he still has them.  As for the whole country thing I would imagine you can get it all done here in the USA, as long as he terminates his rights.  Your best bet is to find a lawyer (I dont live in WV but you can go online and look for ones who deal with this type of thing in your area.) and talk to them, they will be able to help you better then we can.  Good luck!
