I believe only if his name is on the birth certificate. If you need any resources on adoption feel free to email me. Good luck to you. soontobeself

yes and it not a good idea to gave away your baby why didn’t you use a condom in the first place if you didn’t want to have a baby ? you should keep the baby and show them love and support or have your other family take care of the baby

later in life the child grow up and want to know why did you gave him or her up cuz you were stupid to get preg and didn’t want it ? what a lame excuse not here

If he’s named on the birth certificate, he will find out regardless as long as they can find him. But the ethical and responsible thing to do is to go ahead and tell him. LoveMyKids!

Assuming he is the father of said baby?

YES! He has to sign off on an adoption, assuming there is to be one. You have no right to withhold information from him about HIS child. This is just as much HIS child as yours. He also has a right to parent this child. If you choose not to, he should have the opportunity to before this kid is farmed out to strangers.

Even if he decides, ultimately, to sign off on adoption, this child has a right to have record of his/her father in the future. To withhold that information is not only completely selfish, but it robs two other parties of information pertinent to THEM and their life stories. Please tell him. He has a right to know and a right to try. AnnaBelle

YES! Not only are you legally obligated to do so, it’s just plain wrong not to. mahli

Why would you want to play such a cruel game? There is someone else involved in this and that’s the child. 20 years from now what will be your excuse? Will it sound as important then as it does now? How about if your child needs medical information from both sides of his gene pool? My grand son did. and what if, just what if he catches wind of your pregnancy and hires a lawyer BECAUSE HE HAS RIGHTS and not only gets custody, but sue’s the pants off of you?

So to answer the question, have to no, should you, ummm what do you think?

If he wasn’t father material then you shouldn’t have taken that chance. Besides what makes you such a good judge, look what your considering doing. Maybe he or his family would be happy to raise one of THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS.

These questions disgust me. smarmy
