I am 29 weeks pregnant and my unborn son's father is in prison. I am in a new relationship with a wonderful man with whom I met before learning of my pregnancy. My partner has been there from day one, accompanying me to each ultrasound, doctors appointment and midwife appointment and he helps me in every way possible. My child's biological partner has written to me claiming that he is not ready to be a father and so my new partner is considering adopting my son. Where do we stand? Do we need permission from the biological father? Do my son's biological father's family have any rights should we go ahead with the adoption? They too have not contacted me a single time since learning of my pregnancy
I had also considered putting my partners name on the birth certificate as I consider him to be his father, could this effect the adoption process and am I allowed to do this?
