My wife and I are both Active duty military,
We have three wonderful children, the first two are from prior marriages. Sad fact is both bio-fathers are dead beat dads. Neither have tried to make contact with their children since shortly after their birth. My sons Bio fathers name is on the birth certificate and he has paid less than 200$ per month in child support for the last decade. He's never tried to make contact and honestly I'm thankful. My wife has full rights and custody and he has only supervised visitation per her discression. (He's never been intrested)
Due to my military career we can be asked to leave the country to live abroad. I would need passports in order to allow him to leave the country. According to what I've read, would I need a signature to get a passport even if my wife has full custody of my son, and the father no rights? What complicates things it that his Bio-Dad has moved out of the country and his wherabouts are completely unknown. He's an orphin with no family to contact, or friends for that matter. It's as if the guy fell of the face of the earth.
My son is 10 now, and we've been wondering if my adopting both children would be the best bet, but are unsure we have the time before we're required to move. Any advise?
My daughter who is 5 now doesn't have the fathers name on the birth certificate so procuring the passport wonlnt be an issue for her.
I would appricate any help. I'm raising money to hire an adpotion lawyer, but unfortuatly I don't have several thousand dollars to liquidate at this time. Just kinda wondering where to start.
