Big Responsibility.

[happymomma112]

Okay so to start off I will say that my ex is currently serving prison time for drugs. He and I have an 11 month old daughter together. Before he was incarcerated I was taking the main role in raising his other two children for over three years. Now that he is in jail the mother to those children has decided to come back around which I support fully. If there mother iis getting herself together I am happy they can be with her. My issue is that since she has had them she isn't letting them see my daughter (there sister) at all. So my ex recently asked me if he could sign over his parental rights of those two children to me. Now while I am all for being a part of there life and I love them like my own, I wonder if taking this on is gong to take away from my daughter since I will be paying child support and such. Don't get me wrong I am willing to work two jobs if I have to, I'll make the money somehow. I guess my question is am I taking too much from my daughter by doing this or is it worth it?

I'm a bit confused as to why he'd want to sign over his rights to you?

Is that even possible? The him signing his rights to you part. They're kids, not a check...ya know? I mean legally, you have no rights to the children. You aren't a blood relative...were you and he married? Then you might have a leg to stand on in court. He can sign away his rights to them, but I don't think he can then assign those rights to someone else. GL whatever happens though.
