i think as he has a criminal past the judge will take this into consideration as well as the jury. what i would do is any thing he says to u or sends in a text,email etc that proves he is unwilling to change his ways should be kept and given as evidence in court.also if its something he says u should write the date and time down and also write it word for word. when in court you should make a statement that you feel the baby would be in danger in his care as a result of his smoking,drinking etc and let the jury decide.most people would believe a mother if they said they felt their baby would be in danger in some1 elses care (mothers instinct).I personally would side with you,i think as he does have a right to his child the court will give him visitation rights but please try and fight these visitaion rights to be supervised,as he is unlikely to be responsible with your baby. Good luck with everything Ash

Well to me you sound like you have a good head on your shoulders. I’m sure sorry that you are in the position that you are. I think that you’ll be surprised to know that in most cases the dads and their families always say that they are willing to fight it when it indeed they are not. I mean for them not to say anything would mean that they don’t care so they speak up. I’ve adopted two babies in Texas and while waiting heard of many birth fathers and their families wanting to fight it and never showed up. Once the father has been told of the birth mother wishes to put the baby up for adoption there is a time in which he has to seek legal assistance in fighting you. Most of the time, the time runs out and all of his rights are then gone. I hope that you are using an agency of some kind to help you through this. If not a real good adoption attorney. My best to you and your decision. I’m sure that you will always hear bad things about your choice but most would have not walked in your shoes. I’ll say a prayer for you and the baby tonight. squeaker

him. regardless of how shitty you think he is, that’s his baby too. i think that women who give up their baby’s without the father’s consent are selfish. I’m all for women’s rights but when you make a stupid decision and refuse to take responsibility by taking care of your baby, you owe it to that baby to let their dad raise them, not two baby hungry strangers. shame on you. xlinzx88x
