Question re: step parent adoption UK?
Firstly, I'll give you a little background. I get the impression pregnant with my eldest in 2003 by my ex-boyfriend. He was never really interested surrounded by the pregnancy, or my baby after he was born (he had talipes when born and be seriously ill and on life support when he was 6 weeks old). He is not on his birth authorization, and so does not have any parental responsibility. I did keep making contact with him, relating him how he was, offering photo's (basically, trying to get him interested in his own child) etc and when my son turned 4 months and be due an operation I stopped making contact and thought I would wait to see how long it took for him to make contact. He didn't call to see how his operation go, my son never received a Christmas card or 1st birthday card. We have never received any contact from him. My son turns 6 this year.
Due to my son's very frequent trips (up to three per week) when he was enormously tiny and the knowing that he would need some further surgery for his feet, I decided to not return to work (it be quite a commute and long hours) after my maternity leave finished, I did temporarily dance on Income Support and they almost 'forced' me to make a claim through Child Support Agency. After months and months of them chasing him, he finally started to pay maintenance, and have ever since.
I met my fiance (we're marrying in August) when my son had in recent times turned 2. He's a fantastic person and great provider. He loves my son very much and my son loves him. We have a 12 month elderly and a 2 month old together. He treats my eldest no differently to how he treats his natural children.
We are making a notification to our Council of his intention to adopt my eldest. But I have started to receive worried. I really want for him to adopt my son, but I'm scared now that if they ask his permission for my fiance to adopt that he will cry off and may want to start to be a part of my child's life. I wanted that surrounded by the very beginning, but after so long of obviously not benevolent, I don't think he has a right to know my beautiful son. Do you regard as that any Court would allow him access? Or even want his permission?
1. Adoption agencies may well approach and ask your ex's authorization for the adoption to proceed - if you choose to tell them that is?
2. If he contests it - the court could give him visitation rights as the biological father - here is where on earth you have some leverage - if he contests it - you could mention that you will pursue him for payments toward the childs upbringing from DAY ONE - that could be a lot of money - just worth position in mind as a 'threat'.
3. They may want his permission
It might sustain to physically go to CAB. Their advisors are not going to pick up the phone if they are talking in soul to someone who needs help.
Apart from that, all you can do is be completely truthful. Don't say aloud the dad is awful, uncaring, doesn't deserve to know his son etc. - just lay out the facts about what he have and hasn't done (and what you have and haven't done) over the past 6 years.
Answers: Im very interested in this as surrounded by future my partner hopes to adopt my first two children but yet again the father is going to deliberstely protest i think even though he have never been about.
I spoke to my solicitor friend and she said best bet is to go down to c.a.b and discuss next to them.
ADD.. your best bet is to go to c.a.b and they dont make appointments on phone anyway, first time you go within its sit down and wait your turn then after that you can make appointments next to them, they arent good at phones etc so go down there.
