My question involves adoption law for the State of: Arkansas My ex-boyfriend and I broke up after I find out I was pregant.He has never done anything for her nor has he ever spend time with her. He is made to pay child support through the courts but has not been pay ing until almost 2yrs. ago and he is still not paying like he supposed to.(He is over $9,000 behind in child support).I met my husband when my daughter was about 16 mos. old. He has been raising her and taking care of her as his own along with our other two children we have together. he has never considered her as his stepchild but only as his daughter. My husband loves her and wants to adopt her. We been marry for almost 10 yrs. She also has came to us stating she wants her last name change to our last name.(she is 11 yrs. old). Can my husband adopt her? and if so, what can we do? Please help! DeniseS
