child abandonment and adoption
I have a 1 year old gorgeous little girl. her father is an idiot. Her father and i were together for four years. I became pregnant and he decided she wasnt his. He was there the whole pregnancy and the birth. He became verbally abusive to me and insisted i was pushing a child on him that wasnt his. I have told him many times to go to court and take the paternity test. He told me its not his responsibility and he didnt want to pay for it. I am not too keen on him being around the baby to begin with these days so i haven't pursued the test or child support. I have sent him letters every month for the first six months of her life. I gave him dates and times he could come see her. I have also called him numerous times to get him to come to see her. He showed up one time and brought one of his friends. He stayed thirty minutes and I haven't seen him since. He actually took me to court for "harassment" for contacting him about our child.The charges were ofcourse thrown out. I am now involved with a great guy i have known for years. He eventually wants to adopt my daughter. I forgot to mention her father refused to be listed on the birth certificate. I was wonder what the chances are of him being able to adopt her? Does her father need to be contacted again even though he has made it crystal clear he wants nothing to do with her? Also he has not seen her or paid a penny in a year do u think they will allow her to be adopted???
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
