My son's biological father is in prison for breking into our home and aggravated stalking steming from a simple assault charge in which he came to my home in an attempt to take my son and assaulted me in the process. Before I get ahead of myself let me give you a little on the background of this situation. The father has been in and out of jail for over 10 years and has drug and alcohol addictions. He was in jail when my son was born and did not get out until my son was about 6 months old. He did go at that time and sign a paternity ackowledgement but he never legitimized him. We seperated about 3 months later and until my son was about a year 1/2 he had very sporatic visits with him and made about 5 $60 child support payments. He was ordered to have no contact with myself or our child for the next 10 years. I have been with my husband since my son was about a year old and he is the only daddy he knows. He is the one to provide ALL support for my child, as I stay at home with our children and he desperatly wants to adpot my son. How does this work? I have a feeling that the father would not agree, just out of pure spite. We are in the state of GA. Does anyone know if I even have grounds for this adoption? Thank you so much!
