I would recommend waiting and just do the adoption. Why go through two expenses and two court actions when it can all be done with one.

I merged your threads. I assume the second post was after you read another thread that answers your question. The point is don't try to terminate his rights, just go for the adoption. It will take care of everything at one time.

Yes. What would be the point of "removing parental rights", or limiting his visitation when he doesn't use those rights anyway? As apparently you have learned in another thread, when your fiance makes you his wife (and in some places a year or so has elapsed since your marriage), he can apply to adopt your child.

It is very hard, if not impossible in some areas to just terminate rights, even the worst bio father who has never visited or paid, is assumed to have certain rights.

But for adoption termination of rights is much easier and first the bio father may just sign over to allow adoption,

Wow I mean the feedback was seriouly like I felt as tho I wassnt alone with this...I def wanna start with thank u. So plan of action..adoption leads to both name change n offering for parental rights over. My husband can simply say he's been providing and can still provide. There is a motion in contempt for the father is it a bad idea to bring up adoption to jugde then. And pos get him to sign that day ...?

LOOK AT THIS GENTLEMEN //QUOTE QUOTE I LOOKED UP adoption laws in florida.. and foudn this..

For example, although there are exceptions, an unmarried biological father must register his paternity with Florida’s Putative Father Registry; otherwise, the court will not require his consent before proceeding to complete an adoption plan.

in english i think it says i dont need his consent there is no way on earth he would know anything about that registry ..just sayin..
