I AM IN NEED OF SOME ADVICE. I AM A 23 YR OLD FEMALE, WHO GAVE BIRTH TO MY SON WHEN I WAS 15 1/2 YEARS OLD. MY SONS SPERM DONOR WAS 21 AT THE TIME OF HIS BIRTH. HE WAS AWARE I WAS PREGNANT AND WHEN I GAVE BIRTH HE STARTED ACTING LIKE A JERK. MY SON IS NOW 7 1/2 YEARS OLD AND HAS NEVER SEEN HIS BIOLOGICAL FATHER. I AM MARRIED AND MY HUSBAND PLAYS THE ROLE AS DADDY. MY SON IS UNAWARE MY HUSBAND IS HIS STEP-DAD, HE THINKS HE IS HIS FATHER. I HAVE FILED THE PAPER WORK WITH THE COURT FOR MY HUSBAND TO ADOPT HIM, NOW I'M WAITING FOR THE SOCIAL WORKER TO CONTACT ME FOR THE EVALUATION. DO YOU THINK THE SOCIAL WORKER WILL RULE IN MY FAVOR. THE PATERNAL GRANDFATHER HAS VISITED MY SON 2 TIMES, BUT HAS NOT MADE ANY CONTACT IN 7 YEARS. PLEASE ADVISE, THIS IS BECOMING SOOOO STRESSFUL.
THANK YOU,
A WORRIED SOUL
I don't see why they wouldn't rule in your favor. There is a law in California (8604.b) that deals with abandonment. If he hasn't contacted the child or paid child support in over a year, then they can terminate his parental rights without his consent.
That's what we are doing with our kids.
