    I believe you would need the mother to sign over her rights as a parent.You can not do this without some form of legal representation.

    I'm not sure what the laws are in South Africa or West Africa regarding adoption--but you DO realize that you would be taking someone else's baby from her, don't you? That if you do not do this with her consent, you are in effect stealing a baby?

    You need to consult with an attorney to find out what the adoption laws and requirements are in both your country and hers.
