baby adoption
don’t know what to say asked:


My friend is 6 months pregnant with her second child. Her oldest child has developmental problems, she suffers from depression, and she is drowning in debt and can’t even afford her meds. The father has another woman pregnant and due at the same time as my friend. He is going to jail for multiple DUI’s, he has a drinking problem, and other problems…not to mention he’s young. The father refuses to let my friend put their child up for adoption even though she is AFRAID that the child will grow up not having what he needs and could potentially be in trouble because of both the father and my friends problems. In these circumstance, can she put the baby up for adoption without the father’s consent?
