My bf didnt want to relinquish our child. I would suggest meeting with the bfather alone and also with the bmom. My bf, had he gone alone, probably would have spoke up to the counselor about his strong desire to parent. I let her know I wasnt sure he'd sign. I truly wasnt sure he would. I very much pressured him into his decision. He would be a single parent right now had he not signed. I was very set that I didnt want to raise another child. I did inform him of all the things that would be available to him if he wanted to raise her alone, but I wouldnt have been with him anymore. Had I been the aparents in our situation and known how he felt, I wouldnt adopt the baby. I, too, would have felt terrible about "taking" a baby that the parent didnt want to relinquish.
