Re: Lesbian vs. Lesbian for baby

Based on my understanding of the information provided, it appears that you have no legal parental rights re the male child and that you have no obligation to pay child support. Whether you wish to enter into an agreement (through adoption) with her to acknowledge your parental rights and obligation to pay support is a decision you may wish to give considerable thought. The putative biological father would be in a similar situation. Failure to document these matters in legal paperwork leads to the kind of situation you are in.
