Carla J asked:
My husband and I are in the process of adoption. We have been approached by a young woman that wants us to adopt her child. The birth father is against this adoption. Would we have a case if we decided to go through with the adoption and fight the birth father? The birth father does not have the means to support this child alone. He wanted her to abort the child, but since she didn’t he is living by the philosophy of “either I get it or no one does.” It is more of him wanting to win than really wanting this child. Does anyone know what we would be up against? Would we even have a shot of keeping this baby if he decided to fight us for it? He has claimed to have filed some sort of pre-paternity establishment. Does this even exist? We live in Texas.
