Can your husband adopt your children if their father has been absent over 5 years?

If you'd like to do a step-parent adoption, you'll have to terminate the current legal father's parental rights. Typically, a dead beat dad will consent to this process, because he will avoid any potential obligation to pay child support. However, that may not always be the case. The procedures to have his rights terminated over his objection vary by state.
You should speak with a lawyer in your area that handles step-parent adoptions, and find out exactly what would be necessary in your case.

How does your dad adopt you?
Your actual father (biological father or husband of your mother at the time of your birth) does not need to adopt you; you are already his child. What is usually more relevant is "how does your step-father adopt you" or "how does your dad get exclusive custody of you." The answers to these questions differ greatly from state to state and country to country.
