[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course you can do it! 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]

Not saying this is not true, but i would think its better to have a parent not be around than forcing someone who doesn't want to be there to be involved.  In one case, a kid can argue that the parent missed out bc they didn't get to know the kids, in the second case if the parent still doesn't want to be involved, the kid can wonder what about them makes the parent so averse, despite knowing their kid.  I'm adopted and I can say I fully believe I'm much better off with my family than if I hadn't been left behind at the hospital by my birth mother.[/quote]

If you were left behind at the hospital, someone would have adopted you.  And, as a child through adoption, most kids are curious about their birth family.  My child certainly is.  They have a close relationship with 1/2 his biological family and don't have a relationship with another (for good reasons) and even so they are curious.  OP is not claiming abuse or neglect.  She should give him a chance to be apart of this child's life and yes, that means joint parenting.  This isn't an adoption situation or anything close to it.  One good parent is better than none but ideal for kids is two good parents.[/quote]
