Legal Question in Family Law in Alabama
Adopting the child of my Russian fiance
I am engaged to a Russian woman
who has a young child. The father of
the child has given his permission for
the child to come to America and
even signed a form ( notarized ) that
he gives his permission for me to
adopt his daughter. Is there anything
else we need to do before she leaves
Russia in order for me to adopt her
little girl?

It is not absolutely mandatory, but the adoption will go more smoothly if you can get the father's consent to the adoption in the form required by statute.
