I have had physical custody of these children for 15 years we are not related. The father has had no contact and the mother is willing to relinquish parental rights. I was told I need to file a petition to terminate parental rights pending adoption. Can I do this myself or do I need a lawyer? What about the father? I don't even know if he is on the birth certificates. The children 15 and 11 want to be legally adopted which is why we are doing this 15 years into it. What steps can I take? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Thank you.
