[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry you're in this position. I think at 13 you can be honest with her that you're sad her birth father didn't get to raise her because he loved her, and at the same time you're happy that she grew up with a dad (her stepfather) who also loves her. I think that if her stepfather wants to adopt her that you should go through with it. It protects him (if you die he won't have to fight for custody), and it allows her to be the recognized daughter of one of the people who raised him. You don't have to erase her birth father from her life - save some memories for her, including the original birth certificate of you have it (a new one will be issued when the adoption is finalized).
