My ex signed the paper, now I am just waiting for the hearing. I can't help but be nervous. My daughter will have to see my ex at the hearing. She is 3.5 and hasn't seen him since right before her 1st bday. I met him to get him to sign the paper. He looked SO scruffy. Like he was homeless or something. He stunck of cigarettes so bad. I think she is gonna be scared of him. I really hope it goes well.
Was hoping to hear some success stories.
WIsh I had one. I am in the process right now of terminating rights. Good luck momma you are doing the right thing.

Are you remarried and is the child being adopted? If not then how is it in the kids best interest to leave her legally fatherless? Normally the courts will not do this unless extreme cases of abuse. Once rights are terminated, the tax payers may get stuck supporting the kid then the state has no recourse. Normally this does not happen. If the father does not have any visits why not leave it at that? If you are married and the kid is being adopted then the courts will normally approve.
Once the adoption goes thru I won't have any claim to the single mom title. Seems weird.

Why does your daughter have to go?
Scared to get out of my comfort zone
