Pregnancy Info HOME

First... I don't believe that he can sign over his rights unless you have someone willing to adopt the baby (like if you get married, or perhaps a family member--but I'm not sure on that). Only let him sign over his rights if you don't need child support. If you DO need the support... make him pay for it. and I KNOW that he can't sign over his rights without your consent. My ex left me when I was 4 months pregnant, got engaged to a 19-year-old 3 months later, and has barely spoken to me since we broke up. I was REALLY hurt when all of this was going on, but now... I couldn't care less. Our daughter will be 8-months-old on the 14th. I haven't had any contact with him in the last 2 months and I don't even care... haha. The ONLY thing that bothers me about it is that my daughter has such a deadbeat of a dad, but I know that she'll be fine without him, and I'll eventually find her a great dad (and a great husband for me). My point in all this is that even though this is hard for you now... it will get better. You will be having your baby soon... so just focus on him/her. I know that when Alena (my daughter) was born, she became my whole world. I'm not even interested in dating or anything right now... I'm just focused on her. and honestly.... if I didn't NEED the child support from my ex... I'd offer to let him sign over his rights (that is.. if my mom would be allowed to adopt Alena). because I don't really have any interest in having anything to do with him anymore... and I'm not so sure he'd be a good influence on my daughter. but oh well... it'll all work out. Just hang in there... and don't waste too much brain space on that jerk. He's definitely not worth stressing over.
