O.k. Wow! I am in the SAME position as this post!! But i am the stepfather in this case.... We have file for the legal step parent adoption... cost under $300 and the sperm donor has given consent to adoption.Here is were it gets sticky for me... I have some legal issues that the judge not the social worker had issues with! He wanted me to wait until my probation finished before he finalized adoptions. this two years away and our little one (4) has gotten used to say my last name. she is now headed for kindergarden and school is going to treat her the donors name... so we are going to attempt to change her last name so that at least she can continue that until the adoption is complete. is that possible or not? he has signed the paper to terminate his rights?
