[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 334117, member: 4264"] I would think that it would be as straight forward as any normal adoption. Perhaps more simplified due to the fact that difficult child's father is deceased. It should seem straightforward to a judge that your husband adopt your difficult child. It makes sense for him to legally be his father for medical reasons etc. And it seems logical that your son may want to hold on to his biofathers name. This isn't a case where the bio dad is gone by choice. Holding onto his fathers name shows he won't forget his roots, while having your husband adopt him helps him feel part of the family as it is at this stage, and ensures legal protection for difficult child in terms of your husband etc. Congrats on your reunification. You sound incredibly happy. I wish your new (again) family all of the best. [/QUOTE]
