DH's birth dad died in an accident when he was 18 months old. MIL met DH who we now call his "dad" when he was 11. He offered to adopt DH when he was 14, but at that point DH wanted to keep his original surname.
Fast forward 20 years ish. DH is 36 and now, we realise that if god forbid, anything were to happen to his "dad" he would have no say in his care or treatment.
FIL has now said that he would like to adopt DH and DH wants this. Is this possible? How do we go about it? Where should we go to?
Thank you for your help. When it came up in conversation, the one place I thought of, to ask about this, was here. Thank you.
