I live in Arkansas and my husband of five yrs. wants to adopt my two girls age 11 and 8. Their bio. father has not been in the picture every since I was pregnant with the second child. We were married but the divorce was granted when the second child was 2 weeks old. He has never paid the girls a dime of child support and has only seen them 1-2 times in 8 yrs and 5 months. we do not even know where he is or even might be. How will this affect my husband adopting the girls? Isn't there a law about his rights being terminated b/c of no support or contact in that time frame? Do we even need his concent?
