Need help with adoption situation
Please if anyone can give us advice we would greatly apprecaite it! Currently we have custody of a beautiful baby boy who will be almost 3 months old.However, the problem is the possible birthfather.He has not signed off on the adoption and he just contested after being served with a show cause order.Basically this birthfather had nothing to do as far as the birthmom's whole pregnancy and knew the baby was going up for adoption.He was married and when the birthmom called to say she was pregnant he told her he did not want the baby.Now after his split up with his wife he decides he wants the baby.We were wondering as hopeful adoptive parent's is there any hope of us keeping this baby? The birthmom wants the baby to stay in our care.The birthmom did not relinquish her rights once she found out he was fighting this adoption before her 30 days were up she filed with the courts not to stop the adoption,but if the father was fighting she wanted to step forward.I was just wondering if anyone has ever been in a similiar situation.Will the judge order the baby to go back to the birthmom? Also the birthfather is saying that he probably will not show up in court...what happens then.Any help would be apprecaited.We love this baby sooo very,very much the thought of possibly losing him would be so very devasting..we could not imagine a day without him.We entered this situation not knowing this birthfather would step forward -he has every right to his baby,but we just wish he would have told us in the beginning adoption was not what he wanted.....we are heartbroken and only pray for a miracle!!!!
