[quote=Anonymous]OP, this has red flags all over it.  Mostly b/c you can't conceive (yikes, bad pun) of doing what he's done.  If that is the case, and this isn't some thing from his teens...what type of advice do you want to hear?

While I can come up with some reasons to explain the situation, if I tried really, really hard.  The bottom line is, for those of us here who are parents, giving up all rights to a child whose mother is in jail, in favor of her parents, is hard to understand.  Great to have them involved or for the boy to live with them the majority of the time -- even if that's the case, most people don't give up parental rights under normal circumstances.

I'm still curious -- why is the mom in jail and what was going on in your BF's life at the time?  Did he have an addiction, mental health issues, in school?  Something?  Every situation is different, but someone whose pregnant GF wound up in jail and he didn't step up for his child...well, call me judgmental, but I'm not interested in building a life with that guy.  You have a child already, so I'm guessing you're divorced -- you should be looking for a guy that makes life easy and better in some way.  Not this guy.[/quote]
