In utah you must live with the child for 6 months before you can adopt, but first you have to take care of birthfather. I would enforce child support...if their is not a court order for child support get that first!
I was in a similar situation. Birthfather did not want his rights terminated but did not want to do any father duties. I was cautioned to not fight for custody until I had a court order for child support. We were lucky to get back child support ordered. We waited almost a year for b-dad to do something but he never did. We then petitioned the court to have father rights removed as he never visited or paid child support. Then we were free to move on to adoption. If b-father wants to be the dad he will have to step up and start acting like the dad.
