My daughters father has not been in her llife since we divorced 4 years ago.  Currently he has not seen her, called, or even sent a card in a year.  He recently contacted me via text message to tell me he wants to sign over his rights.  My husband would love to adopt her and my daughter and I are excited about the posibility also.  There is a catch though.  My daughter's fater wants me to pay him to sign over his rights.  First he asked for $30K, then $15K, now he says $10K.  I have all of our text messages saved on my cell phone.  My question is.....Is this even legal?  Couldn't he get in some serious legal trouble for this?
Thanks!
