    Post Bio father dead and I want a name change

    I recently found out that my son's biological father passed away. He was NEVER in my sons life. My son is 15 years old now. I met a wonderful man when my son was 1/12 to 2 years old and we have been together ever since. We've been married for six years and I have since given birth to 2 more children that are my husbands. We have thought about having my hubby adopt my oldest, but I knew that the biological father would fight it every step of the way so we let it be. Now that the biological father is dead is there any way of changing the birth certificate to remove biological father from our lives. Where do I start? We live in NY.

    You can do both: change the name and do an adoption.

    Of course, if you do an adoption, then the name will be changed during the adoption.

    You start by talking to a lawyer who does adoptions.

    Get out your phone book and start calling.

    I was also wondering how can I find the death certificate to biological father? We were never married (thank goodness) so I am unable to find this document?

    Thanks for the advice it is very appreciated.
