The best thing to do is contact your adoption specialist and discuss your specific situation and state, and learn the laws that would apply to you. Although for some women it is frustrating and painful to have to include the birth father in the adoption, the law is there to protect your child, and make sure the adoption is legally safe. It helps to make sure that your baby will live with the adoptive family you choose without concern. The bottom line is: call and ask! American Adoptions will do all they can to help.

No he should not be able to stop you. This is your decision if the baby is in your care. If the man wants this baby enough then tell him that he can take care of it and if you dont think that he would provide a good family for your child then i say sure go ahead and do what YOU think is right

Hi, I am not an attorney and I know the laws are different in each state. I am in Florida and I know with our situation it depends on the level of involvement the birthfather has had and the amount of financial support he has given you. Our laws have just gotten much easier for birthmothers in Florida since our son was adopted. Find good council so that you can ensure your needs are met.
