Either the biological father has to sign away his rights as a parent, or you can go to an adoption attorney and take that route. If the biological is not active in the child's life, it may be fairly simple. If he is active, the biological can fight for his rights and you will probably end up in court. My husband and I went through this and are going through the phase that I hear most people go through who do legal adoptions. Our children have sought out the biological and he(the biological) is reaking havok on our household-its terrible, so just understand the process and the consequence of your loving action. It can come back to bite you later-possibly, not always. Remember kids always think the grass is greener on the other side. Best of luck though.

My mother got pregnant with me and my biological father wasn't in the picture. She ended finding a wonderful man 3yrs later who did put his name on my birth certificate. They just said he was my father. I never had my biological fathers name on mine.

Yes, a father can be allowed by the court to give up his parental rights even when the child is not up for adoption. This means he will still have to pay child support though. If you mean he would sign his parental rights over to another man, no. There would still be a mother in the picture and she would be the only one with parental rights.

No, the father, can take custody of the child but this does NOT take custody away from you just because you wanted to give your child up for adoption.

It seems unlikely that the courts would accept this. Anyway, terminating parental rights does not terminate child support.

Not unless you live in Utah but you can ask the court to terminate his rights if he never has contact with the child for instance.

What can you do to get your child back from a person who said he was the father and got a court order along with a restraining order and he's not on the birth certificate?

Courts do not grant parental rights, custody and restraining orders without evidence. They do not grant custody to a man who only "says" he's the father or to someone who is "presumed" to be the father. They establish paternity first. You should contact an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options.Courts do not grant parental rights, custody and restraining orders without evidence.

You need to have parental consent in any case. If your real father has parental rights, he may choose not to let you, but if he has no parental rights (such as if your step-father has adopted you) then you only need his and your mother's consent.
