Actually, the adoption tax credit is not available for step-parent adoptions, sorry.

It's well worth getting a lawyer so a) you properly terminate bio dad's parental rights and ensure that he does not receive visitation and b) your husband is able to actually adopt your child. Best of luck to you.

thank you!

OP I'm a PP who's been questioning DH but I do not think ill of him. I am most familiar with the stubborn side of the male species, from my father to an ex and to a teenage son! (I love them, even the ex!)
