What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? OREGON
The possible father of my soon-to-be born child has threatened to take action to have this child taken from me if I don't give it up for adoption. He stated that he will support me to the end if I give it up for adoption, but if I choose to keep it, he will do everything in his power to make sure I'm not allowed to raise it. I have other children and their father has no big issues with how I raise them. What action can I take to ensure that this doesn't happen? And when I reiterate my intentions of raising this child on my own, how do I ensure that I am not threatened and harassed further when the child is born? Also, if he wants to give it up for adoption anyways, is there any way to relinquish his parental rights to custody? Please help this Oregon mother who just wants a peaceful birth.
