Best Answer

The ability to adopt a child as a gay or lesbian parent varies from state to state. Gays and lesbians have several options open to them when considering adoption. What you are wanting to do is know as second parent adoption. A second parent adoption is where an unmarried couple jointly adopts a child who is already the child of one of them. After the adoption, the child has two legal parents with equal rights. As you said the child's father has already signed over his parental rights, the first step in the process, and often most difficult has been completed.

Can a father sign over parental rights to an unborn child in Alabama?

That is a decision made by the court. A court can grant a partial or complete Termination of Parental Rights if the judge feels it is warranted for reasons other than said parent is relieved of his or her financial obligation to their minor child/children. Generally voluntary TPR's (those requested by a parent) are only granted when a child is being legally adopted.
