There's nothing you can do and neither should there be. Your child like it or not is also his child & he has every right esp. if he's still in contact with her be it once a week or eveyday to still be her father. Why on earth if your daughter's father is still part of her life would you want to or feel the need to have your current partner adopt her?
I agree. I have an 'unofficial stepson' who is 8, and who sees his dad weekly. I wouldn't consider adopting him due to this. It would be unfair to his dad, who although can be a divi at times is his dad, and I also think it would cause confusion for xxxxxxxx.
....(even though xxxxxxxx has been with me since he was 11months old)....
