    Default Step-Parent Adoption in Oklahoma

    My fiance is wanting to adopt my daughter after we get married. My daughter knows him as her daddy. Her biological father is unknown due to it being a "one-night stand" while I was on vacation. All I know is his first name and that he was also on vacation. I am the only one listed on her birth certificate. how would we go about the adoption process after we get married?

    Legal part:

    Go and see an adoption attorney once you've been married a year or so. The court wants to see stability.

    Parenting part:

    Please don't allow her to grow up thinking someone else is her father. There are age-appropriate ways to let her know very early on and this is considered by far (by experts in the field) the best way to handle the truth regarding adoptions. Even if you don't know the guy's name.
