Nothing bad like rape happened. And to be honest, there is nothing bad about him that should warrant him not getting custody.

I know it's a relatively new thing, but I didn't realize that people were not aware. That's why I didn't know if I was misunderstanding the question.

I'm sort of confused why you keep asking this. Maybe I'm not understanding. I could choose adoptive parents if I was putting the baby up for adoption. I would work with an adoption agency, look at a bunch of profiles, meet with potential parents, and pick the family for my child.

Well, if I was doing adoption, I would pick the family my child went to. Of course, if I was doing adoption and the father was on board with it, I would involve him in picking the family too. I believe I have stated that since reading through the information link provided on the first page...

I have given it thought. I struggle with deciding what is best. Is it best to be raised by her natural father and not have a mother at all (unless he marries eventually, and if course I have no say in who she is)? Or is it best to be adopted into a loving 2 parent home that I pick, where I know...

Of course I've heard of a woman's right to choose, but it seems like it becomes more complicated when adoption is involved. I did consider having an abortion earlier on. I wasn't completely sure what I wanted, so I didn't go through with it. If I had decided to have an abortion I would have done...

Sorry, just saw the adoption forum after posting, so I guess this needs moved. I'm pregnant and have decided I don't really want to be involved with the baby. I have been strongly leaning toward adoption. The father has recently told me that he doesn't want adoption and will not consent to...
