My question involves adoption law for the State of: California
Looking for a shed of light on our situation. My question is: Why cant we finish or even get a hearing for our stepparent adoption in which the case has been open for 7mths. All documents filed and biological father signed off. Case is still open and we have 6mths left residing in California. We've talked to Children services. First they tell us they can help us complete in 6mths then next phone conversation they tell us we have to close the case cause we dont have 12 - 18mths. Does this make any sense? We were all hoping this adoption would go thru. What is wrong here? Why cant we complete it? This is confusing and just feels very wrong to us. We've done everything right thus far. Anyone have a clue of what may be happening?
