Does anybody know of a Lawyer that would be able to do a step parent adoption with out the guidian ad lightum and the social services? We live in Wisconsin and we need to get this done soon. I have posted here before and since then I have been looking for a lawyer but everyone says I need the guidian ad lightum and to have the social services come to evaluate my daughter and her Step-dad. I would like to get this done as soon as possible. Most of the Lawyers that I have talked to said it would be between 1800 and 2500 to get this done. I have come up with some of the money but now I am basically being pushed to get this done. I will explaine. I posted a message yesterday under child support/Custody about letting my ex boyfriends parents see my daughter. They have never requested seeing her before and have only caused me trouble in the past. I was both mentally and physically abused by their son and they new it. He caused me to have a miscarriage and they were there when it happend and never tried to stop it. They are all alcholics and think their son is perfect and can do no wrong. His sister tried to push me into going to Fond Du Lac where they all live so that her parents could see my daughter. I told her I didn't think it was a good idea and that if they wanted to see her they could come here but they would have some ground rules so as not to confuse my daughter. Well I thought I had control of the situation but I guessed wrong. My daughter was with my parents this weekend who just happend to go to Fondulac to see my daughters aunt. She has a son that lived with my parents from the time he was born till about 2 years ago. (its a long story.) Any way he has called them grandma and grandpa since he learned to talk so they went to see him. Well guess who else was there?? Thats right my daughters grandparents from her dads side. I am really angry with this because they took her up there with out my knowledge and even though she doesn't know who the people actually are they got to see her. Now my parents are mad because I told them that they can no longer have her on the weekends if they can not tell me where she is going to be. I am trying to protect my family but they don't under stand that. They keep telling me that I am parinoid when I shouldn't be. Well there are just to many bad things about that family that I don't need to deal with and up until now I wanted the father to have to pay for what he has put me through. I was a single parent until 4 years ago when I married an excellent man who has accepted my daughter as his own. He is upset because he doesn't understand why we were not asked before this meeting took place. I just don't know what to do so I decided to get the adoption done before her grandmother on her fathers side talks her father into wanting to meet her. He is willing right now to sign off all rights. Please give me some advice. I feel as though I am loosing the fight that I had thought I won.
