Re: adoption of child
I am missing something in your question. Why would want your ex-boyfriend to adopt your son. If he adopts your son you would lose all parental rights to your son, and he would become the sole parent. This would not be a step-parent adoption, where the step father adopts and you remain the mother.
Rethink you situation and resubmit your question if you are still interested in proceeding with your ex boyfriend adopting your son.
Re: adoption of child
By the facts provided thus far, you should first terminate the biological father�s rights. This will free your child up for adoption. If you wish to discuss further, please call my office (listed below). With regards.
