Question
so my friend , in prego and wants to give up her rights as the mother to the child as soon as she goes in labor and give full custody to the father she does not wish to have any kind of relationship with the child at all where does the father have to go to make it legal.
Leticia,
Thank you for your question. If the father of the baby does desire to raise the child full time, then your friend should place his name of the birth certificate and he should sign the birth certificate. He can discharge the baby from the hospital as the baby's father and with the birth mother's permission. If she wishes to formally terminate her parental rights she can do so through an agency or with the help of a private attorney. He may ask her for child support, just as a mother may ask an absent father for child support. However if she terminates her rights she may not be responsible for such support.
Best wishes to your friend.

Before starting Adoption STAR. Michele worked as an educator in Pennsylvania and then after she and her husband adopted their first child, she entered the field of adoption. In 1989 she founded an adoption agency licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Michele’s own family began to grow and they chose to return home to Western New York. Michele began working locally as an Inclusion Coordinator for individuals with developmental disabilities.
As the years went by, Michele was inspired by the great need for a passionate, advocacy based, non-profit child-welfare agency in this area and so Adoption STAR was born in March of 2000! Michele is very proud of the work Adoption STAR has done and continues to do, and states she is touched by the incredible birth mothers that work with the agency.
