What is the name of your state? Oregon
I have an informal and amicable arrangement with the mother of my 4 year old son. We see each other several times a week and I have been paying for schooling fees, etc. as requested by his mom.
His mom is married with another child and her husband would like to adopt my son, because he says that if anything were to happen he could not make snap decisions regarding his health care or other issues.
I would like to keep things friendly, but I know if I let him adopt I will be giving up all rights to my son. They have mentioned drafting an agreement for all of us to basically get what we want, but I am not sure how to draft an agreement that will protect some degree of rights for the next 14 years.
I'd like to have faith in their intentions with this and my kid, but I am interested in protecting my rights and my sons. I have serious questions regarding their decision making skills at times and I'd like to retain some degree of leverage in my son's life for his own protection. I am also not very keen on giving up my own rights, but I'd like to comply as I can to their request.
I would appreciate any advice regarding this matter,
thank you.What is the name of your state?
