Q: My boys father has never really been in there life has never seen them in the last almost 5 years. i have sole legal physical legal custody of my boys. Can i get his rights signed off and my fiancee adopt them. if so how much an how do you do it?
A: David's Answer: You would seem to have good grounds for an adoption. Either the biological father can sign a surrender, or you can have his rights terminated by the court on the basis of abandonment.
