I am a single mother of an autistic son, and I live with my parents. I am dating a man who has a felony about to be exponged in the next 2 months. I am pregnant and do not have in place what I need to keep this child and meet it's needs. I want to give the child up for adoption, but my boyfriend says he will not give up his parental rights no matter what.
My boyfriend lives with his mother, sister and her child in a tiny trailer. He has been unable to get a job due to his felony. He also has another child which he ows a few thousand dollars back child support. He is not able to see this child because he can't pay the child support and gets more behind each month. He thinks he can make it all magically work out in the next 7 months when I am due. I want him to sign over his rights, so I can adopt this baby out to a family who can care for this child properly. I don't think he will be a fit parent at this point in his life,due to the complecated circumstances he is in. Is there any way he can lose his parental rights so I can give this baby up for adoption?
