Re: giving up rights?
You need more than her declaration. You need a court order. You should probably meet with an attorny in your area to set that up.
Re: giving up rights?
You need to file a paternity action and serve that on her. You can then enter a stipulated judgment. The facilitator's offce might be able to help you with that, however, if you want a parental rights termination that will hold up to later attack, which is more likely than you would care to believe, I would suggest that you have an attorney prepare the agreement and judgment.
