adoption

[gemini3]

I can't give you any other answer but the one I already gave.  Unless your ex gives up his parental rights your fiance will not be able to adopt them.  You can complain about it, and alienate your kids from their biological father - which will just further their psychological damage - or, you can find a way to make things better for your kids.  Personally, I would go with door number 2.

DH n I are also in wisconsin. Let me do some checking. Also look up parental abandonment in wis. I am pretty sure 1 year of no contact is wisconsin law.
