Had ya there for a minute, yes? No?
I'll explain.
My husband and I have been married for (gulp) almost EIGHT years. My sweet little Jarikah started calling him daddy right around her second birthday, when we decided to get married. (Ya know, when I missed my period and got a second line? Yeah, Suck My Ass, Used-to-be-Fertile Me.)
We're making it official. My baby girl is 10 now, and Dan has decided that now is the right time to proceed with the adoption. (Since her real dad has never been IN the picture, and is currently serving a prison sentence for the manufacture of meth...) Good times, good times. (Um, ok, I was 17 and he had a fast car. I NEVER consumed (smoked, shot up?) meth. I did smoke a lot of pot in my day, but all in the past, my girls.)
I've been doing some research online about step-parent adoption. I happened upon several sites that touted "Do It Yourself Adoption- No Lawyer Needed!" Not being rich, this sounds good to me. I paid the $29.95 and received a packet of papers in the mail. This packet contains fill-in-the-blank legal forms--everything you need to file for a step-parent adoption.
Not only are these forms fill-in-the-blank, they have many options to choose from on each form that fits YOUR situation. Except I don't understand them. Hubby also doesn't understand them. I think we'll be contacting a lawyer very soon.
Now, how does one get into a prison with legal forms and a notary? (I don't even know where the Fuck he is!!! Ah, the funny part, I work with his wife. My daughter's toothless step-mother.)
Documentation: I'm ovulating today. (probably.)
I'm Kind of a Big DealI'm just so full of awesome that I had to get some of it out.

You go girl! In my state, there is a public internet site that keeps track of all prisoners, indicates their prisoner number, their sentence, and where they are "housed". It also has instructions on the prisoner receiving mail. If you state has, it would be a great start. Then, I would think you contact the prison where he is and explain your situation. I'm sure prisoners have to sign legal documents all the time (divorces??) so they must know how it works. Likely, you'll have to have someone go there in person and get teh sig - maybe a lawyer? However it gets done, I wish you the best of luck. It is exciting to see step's become real dads, when the walk those shoes anyway.
