[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember that adopted children still have birth parents, and having her stepdad adopt her does not change anything about who her father was at her birth. It simply gives her the gift of a (legal) living father.[/quote]

Well....in many states, it will mean that her birth father is removed from her birth certificate and an amended one is issued.  So it's like dead dad never existed.

How many women here would be ok if their husband's new wife adopted their kids and struck them permanently from the record of your child's birth after you died?

Yeah, didn't think so.[/quote]

If I died tomorrow, I would hope my DH would meet someone else who made him and my children so happy that my children wanted her to adopt them. I would be dead, I'm not coming back and no one is taking anything from me that I would otherwise have. I would still have existed, loved and been loved, a piece of paper is just that.

+1. If you died when your kid was TWO, you wouldn't want them to want to get adopted by the only mom/dad they have ever really known?!? That's insane. I would want my kid(s) and DH to be happy. I can understand why this is tinged by sadness for OP, but it's really a testament to what a good job she and her DH have done raising her daughter. [/quote]
