[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you love him?[/quote]

They have been in a relationship for 4 years. I would say yes?

Agree with PP to formalize it. He is already a shaping force in her life, and if he has been caring for her all of this time, and he is now willing to accept the responsibility - and you have no issue with this - I see no reason not to UNLESS:

1- I am completely wrong, and you do not love him, OP. If you are just going through the motions and you really could not entrust the care of your daughter to him should anything happen to you, then do not do it. Assign someone else as guardian should something happen to you.

2. You think there is a possibility you may ever divorce if you married and/or he adopted. In most serious circumstances, you do not have parental/spousal rights or authority without a formal adoption or marriage. However, if you two end up divorced and he adopts, he could potentially claim custody to your daughter too.

Just throwing that monkey wrench in there[/quote]
