Ditch him, have him sign away his rights and be free of him. Raise your child in a loving environment. [/quote]
It still messes a child up to have one parent who didn't want them. That is written in your bones and never, ever goes away. [/quote]

Yes.  I wonder if putting up for adoption is better vs. worse than growing up with an emotionally unavailable father or no father.  I don't know.  I'm so sorry OP you are faced with this.  [/quote]
Adopted parents divorce as well
I know one family that adopted 2, divorced and the adoptive father got kids of his own from the new wife. No contact with ones he adopted

NP and you have to consider the statistical odds though.  Here, perhaps (?) a 100% odds of an uninvolved father vs. whatever the odds of an uninvolved father in the case of an adoption situation.  There's no guarantees in life but it seems like in the adoption situation the odds of having involved parents are significantly higher.[/quote]
At the same time, you could be married in a few years and have your new spouse as an involved parent
An adoptee has 100% uninvolved bio parents

Oh honey, absolutely not true.  Absolutely NOT true in our home.  [/quote]
Not in yours. It does happen.
People marry people with kids[/quote]

I think PP was referring to the uninvolved bio parents. Many families have open adoptions where the Bio parents  are very involved, or later become involved when the adoptee seeks them out. Like many types of families, these Types of arrangements are flexible. [/quote]

Often bio parents are also uninvolved because the custodial parents does not want them involved.  Child support goes by visitation/custody so the less the NCP sees the kid, the more money they get.  Plus, they want to play the single parent victim role.[/quote]
