okay, so me and my girlfriend / fiance (of 5 years) were having one of those future talks, and the subject of my stepson came up, the ‘other half’ is now 27 and she was fifteen when she fell pregnant with said stepchild who is now 12. i am 3 years younger than my girlfriend turning 25 this year, so when my stepson was born i would have been 12 myself. So we got to talking about if i would be able to adopt him (in the future) because of my age at the time of his birth, with me being to young to be his biological father.
My girlfriend doesn’t like the idea of the kids biological father being able to just turn up, back into her sons life after 12 years of not being around, that’s if anything was to happen to her, and to be honest he’s a lowlife, wasn’t there for the birth and hasn’t been there for his son since. we know we would have to get the lowlife’s permission first for me to adopt but honestly can’t see him refusing when faced with 12 years of child support payments.
my girlfriend seems to think that we would be faced with hurdles of ‘red tape’ because of all this, anyone able to share some information on this? all help appreciated

There are many laws regarding adoption, but age isn’t one of the factors in the case of adopting a step child. However, you must me married to the child’s mother a minimum of one year before it can be considered. The father must agree to sign away his rights or your fiance will have to go through the courts to have his parental rights terminated. The detailed laws will depend upon the state you live in, but you can find more information at the followed website: http://www.childwelfare.gov/index.cfm
There’s a lot more involved. Maybe it’s different there, but here, he wouldn’t owe 12 years of child support; child support only starts when you file. Have the two of them ever gone to court? Is the bio-dad on record as the father?
But then there’s the question of abandonment too, since he’s been away for so long.
Before considering this, you should first consider that 40% of mothers deny fathers access to the child, while claiming that he doesn’t care, and is not paying child support.
