Amy,
Have you checked into hiring an adoption attorney? We are dealing with the same situation however we are further along in the process than you are.
You are in a VERY high-risk adoption. You could hire an attorney and fight it. I am assuming the biofather did not support the bmother financially, emotional and so on. Did he abandon her? Did he know she was pregnant? Did he offer any support at all?
In our case the biofather did know our bmother was pregnant and he did nothing to help her. He actually acted like he did not even know her when she called to let him know she was pregnant. He abandoned his responsibility. He eventually did sign the PFR but it was after we had our hearing with the judge. The judge legally placed our son in our home and we are the legal parents to him. One week later the biofather hired a lawyer and started contesting the adoption.
Needless to say we are fighting this! He knew she was pregnant and did not want to take any action until two moths after our baby was born and placed in our home. We have had our son for four months and pray we will have him forever.
We do realize this is a high-risk adoption because both the bmother and biofather did not sign their rights away. The bmother is a real trooper. She is adamant that our son stay in our home and she has gone to court to testify against the biofather and will continue to help us fight this ongoing battle.
I know how hard this is. It is one of the hardest things you will every go through. I hope I have helped a little. Pmail me if you would like and I can give you more details.
I will keep you in my prayers.
