Adopting Teenage Daughter's Baby

Happygmom: What a GREAT post. I just wanted to say that I would check the laws of your State regarding bfather's involvement. You may have more options than your know. From recent experience, I know that bfathers do not have to sign the TPR in the state we were working in HOWEVER certain criteria needed to be met (i.e. no financial support during the pregnancy, not named on birth certificate, etc.). Yes, he could have contested and no body wanted that BUT my understanding was that he needed to do a number of thing prior to the birth - which he didn't do. And no, he did not sign the TPR - HOWEVER he did know about the pregnancy and birth. So, my advice would be to check out your States laws with an attorney. And I of course agree that this would be your daughters choice and but you probably knew that already. Let her come to her own decision and love her through the journey... Sounds like your doing that... Good luck!
