    Default Adoption by the Mother's Boyfriend

    Me and my boyfriend both want him to adopt my daughter, but the thing is i have no clue to who her father is. I had a drunken one night stand with a guy and dont remember anything about him nor his name. I want to know how we can go about his adopting her?

    Default Canadian Adoption Law

    The two complications to adoption are your inability to identify the natural father, and the fact that you are not presently married. The first can ordinarily be overcome through some form of public notice or "substituted service". If the father does somehow appear in the future, substituted service leaves the adoption more open to attack, but it seems unlikely that it would happen given the circumstances you describe. The second is that you are not married to your boyfriend, and the judge will presumably want some assurance that your relationship is stable. Judges can be reluctant to permit adoption between unmarried couples, because they fear creating an unstable parental relationship.

    You may wish to check at the courthouse, as often there are standard form petitions that can be used for adoption cases, and you might be able to handle the case yourself.
