What paperwork would i need from him, if i need to give the baby for adoption. He is in East coast and I am on the west coast at the moment. He knows about the pregnancy. What rights does he have? I planning to have the baby in WA, Seattle. What are the legal requirements there?
Additional information
Are you seriously thinking adoption? My husband and I have been tring for 2 years to get pregnant. I have 3 failed IVF's and we would very much love to have children. We would like to do a private adoption, althought the expense is so high. We live in Jersey- Would you consider a private adoption rather that the hustle bustle of an agency? Please contact me...if you are interested! Thanks. Wish you well. Answers (1)

This is touchy, because the father's right to the child is in California -- he could file a paternity action here right now. If you deliver in Washington, then Washington is also a proper forum. In California, you would be required to have his consent. I do not know the requirements in Washington. You may wish to post this question again with Washington state being your location (or at least in the title).
