Re: waive parental rights

More | Report Post

Glad I didn't disappoint you.

But why in the world would you even believe anythinng I write
since "5 lawyers" already told you you can do what you want to
do. When that happens, please mail me the court order. I'd
like to see a miracle before I die."

If the child's biomom should suddenly die, you can go pick up
your child from the step-dad and there is nothing the step-dad
could do to stop you (unless he had a court order, which is
unlikely to happen, altho he might get a temporary--and I mean
temporary). The step-dad has no rights to your child. Period.

Bottom line: Step-dad will not adopt for whatever reason. Your
rights will not be terminated unless there are statutory grounds
for doing so. And, thus far, sir, you have stated none.

Methinks thou doth protest too much.
