I am pregnant by my exboyfriend can I give my baby up for adoption in Michigan if he already knows?

We both reside in Michigan, I already have a child from a previous and only marriage, but neither one of us are in the position to take care a of a child at the moment. I think it would be in the best interest of this child to find a home for it that can provide a loving, nourishing, educating, and stable home.

I'm pretty sure the father has to agree to the adoption no matter what state you live in. He has a right to raise the child if he wants to, even if you think it's in the best interest to give it up. Maybe you should contact a lawyer to give you all the right answers. I don't know, maybe legal aide, or family court could help.

No matter what state you live in- as that childs father he has rights. So talk to him and ask him about him terminating his rights to the baby and if he will sign the adoption papers. If no then he will have to take care of the baby. But sounds like he doesn't have his life together enough to do that so just talk to him and find out. What is the worst that can happen?

The father will have to sign papers relinquishing the child before you can proceed. You are doing the best thing for the child at this point and I wish you the best of luck.

Even if he knows it is fine, you just would both have to sign over your parental right. There are many couples, such as myself who would love to adopt.

Even if you COULD do it without his consent, please don't. The only person who this won't affect is you, in regard to ignoring the father's wishes. It could devastate him, the adoptive parents and especially the child.

the father has to agree with the adoption.if you do it without his say he can get a lawyer involved and it will be a big mess.but if he want the baby you can give him full rights to the child.i would talk with a lawyer to see what you can do.

How wonderful that you recognize your inability to parent at this time. Sure, called Planned Parenthood... google your city+ planned Parenthood. They'll have all the references.



Edit:
I'm sorry for the lady above who was not adopted by loving parents. Her story is rather rare. My best girl friend was adopted, and had a lovely childhood, the best, loving parents on the planet. She is now an equine vet.... one of the best in the nation. How sad for that lady above. That would be a rare incident. I have as well other friends who have adopted children and adopted children out, and none have a horror story like that....Nothing is certain, that is for sure, but that story is rare.

You can make an adoption decision independently of him. However, when the termination comes before the judge, they will look to make sure he is not registered with Paternity Registry in Michigan. If he protests the termination, he can hire an attorney and fight the proceedings. it is always best to come to a mutual agreement about adoption, by both parents searching for the best answer for their child's long term well being. Good luck to you all..
