Re: Waiving rights to a child
No you can not. Generally, a judge will allow one parent to terminate their parental rights only if a stepparent is willing to step in a adopt the child assuming the rights and obligations of a parent.
You may want to speak to an attorney to coordinate an orderly legal process, including a DNA test when the baby is born.
