In Jefferson County NY, for an uncontested step-parent adoption, I was quoted $1500 + the $150 fee for the home study. Relatively cheap compared to what I've researched in other states. Good luck!

How do you have a biological fathers rights taken away so you can adopt your son whom you have had with us since he was three weeks old in 1994 he doesn't have a address just a PO box ne papers served?
The answer to your question may be different in the state where you live than in the state I live in (Oklahoma) but here the perspective adoptive parents file a Petition for adoption and then either (1) ask the father if he will provide his consent by signing off on a "relinquishment" of his parental rights or (2) file an Application within the pending adoption case for the court to determine that the child is eligible for adoption without consent of the biological father. Again, this may vary in the state where you live, but showing that the natural parent did not provide support either relative to his/her ability or as already ordered for 12 of the 14 months immediately preceding the filing of the Petition for Adoption AND/OR showing that the natural parent has not established or maintained a relationship with the child during the same 14 month period PRIOR to the filing of the Petition for Adoption. In most states legal "Personal" service can be obtained via Certified Mail, Restricted delivery, with Return Receipt requested and under certain circumstances via PUBLICATION as set out in state law. Step-parent adoptions are often less involved, such as NOT requiring a "home study" if the biological parent and step parent have been married for over a year. This is logical since the child would be in that home anyway, with or without the adoption. Step-parent adoptions like this should not cost that much relatively speaking, get a lawyer in your community to help you get this done. Heaven forbid something possibly happening to you the biological parent, it would be terrible for your child to have to live with his/her biological father, when he/she would obviously prefer and be better off with your spouse. In some states, a teenager will have to provide their consent to a step-parent adoption too, so it can be a very positive thing and in some states he/she can still inherit from his biological parent, even after termination of parental rights and completion of the adoption.

Why do you have to pay child support and health insurance?
That is dependent on state law. In most states, the cost of the policy is worked into the child support calculations, with each parent carrying a percentage. In other states, the obligor parent carries the whole cost, regardless of how much the obligee parent earns. But, all child support is Rebuttable, and as each parent should carry a percentage of the financial responsibility for the child, an argument can be presented for the obligee parent to carry a portion of the cost. This is particularly important if the obligor parent is a low income earner, is collecting unemployment, or is disable. See links
