My husband and have been married for a year now. And he want to adopt my two boys. But my boys father has two years that doesn't see them nor call. I don't know where he is neither. And I have even took him to child support and they cant find him. And his name is not on their birth certificate. They only have his last name. What can I do?

You should really contact an attorney. It may be possible that your husband may be able to claim paternity since the boys' father isn't listed on the birth certificate and then you would just need to do add his name to their birth certs and do a legal name change.
But more than likely you will have to do a formal adoption process which will involve an attorney. If you are low income or do not know an attorney, you can contact the Bar Association for your state and they can assist you with finding an attorney who can give you some initial advice for a low fee.
Good luck!

All you have to do is to run an ad in your local newspaper. Sounds crazy but it's true. In the ad you put the names of your children and state your purpose and the name of the father. You only have to run it for a week or two and if he does not respond then his rights are terminated. Any lawyer can give you the specifics (likely free of charge). This works I did it myself. Lots of luck.
It could be filed as uncontested, since the father has not been a part of your children's lives it could be classified as child abandonment which would mean that he gave up his rights to the children.

Depending on the state you live in you should check the court rules for that state. However, I would imagine you would at least have to attempt service upon the biological father. As far as who is on the birth certificate, I don't think that matters at all. The courts will usually make you attempt service at the last known address and may even require you to contact any family members or people who may know his whereabouts. Once the court is satisfied that the bio father cannot be found, then they may issue an order for publication in a local newspaper which will have to run for so many weeks advising of the pending adoption. CALL AN ATTORNEY for sure though - this is not something you want to try and do on your own - these are your children, your precious babies, so don't want to take any chances.
