Hello everyone I am new at this and in need of some help.
My sons "father" has agreed to sign away his parental rights.
Is there any way to do this with out going through a Laywer?
Like posting it in the paper? :confused:

This isn't the way it works. It doesn't matter if you, he and the 12 apostles AGREE on the matter, the COURT has to approve it. Getting court approval is unlikely unless dad is a danger to the child or you have an established marriage and your husband wishes to adopt the child.

In all honesty, adoption isn't a DIY project. You and your husband should consult with an attorney.

In Alabama if you and baby daddy were not married you will have to go through juvenille court in the county where the child resides and get his rights terminated for one of the reasons listed in the termination statute. Then you would work on the adoption. Find an attorney in your county (preferrably across the street from your courthouse)
