Hi friends - Looking for some advice on completing the Stepparent Adoption paperwork in California. Anyone had any luck in CA?

 

My wife and stepson are both from Russia. The bio dad gave up his parental rights in court in Russia and we have that court document and notarized translation.
 
(1) On Form Adopt-200, should I use my wife and stepson's legal Russian Names, or legal US Names? My wife's Russian documents/court documents have her previous married last name, and my son has a patronym in his Russian documents but not US.
 
(2) If bio dad has given up his parental rights via the Russian court system, do I still need to include his name as Birth Parent? If so, how do I address the question about signing consent? [Adopt-200 Form, #12]
 
(3)How did you handle Investigation or Written Report? Did you choose someone or did you allow the court to do it?
 
Thank you!
