Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Adoption
I recently had a baby with my ex fiance. We were never married, but he did sign the birth certificate. I was wondering, can someone else adopt my child without the fathers knowledge? Or would he have to be notified? thanks

He would have to be notified.
Anyone adopting a child would want to make sure it was handled properly so that there would be no problems in the future. Both parents must sign over their rights.
