What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Idaho
My ex-husband is willing to sign over his parental rights and I'm willing to let him (not sure it has any bearing but my ex resides in WA state). My question is this: Will my boyfriend have to adopt my son (to assume any financial responsibility to the state that may arise, etc.) or would our being in agreement be "enough"? Can my boyfriend even adopt my son--or do he and I have to be married?
