[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^Seems like the best outcome would be that the AP marries someone at some point who decides to adopt the child.[/quote]

I don't know if you can adopt someone with two living parents but it would certainly be easier if she was married and had someone to lighten her parenting load.[/quote]

People give children up for adoption all the time with two living parents.  Maybe your question is that you don't think only one parent can terminate their parental rights while the other retains them.  Obviously this varies by state but, in Virginia for example, the case where the mother remarries is an easy one.  Provided the new father has lived with the child for a specified period of time he can adopt the child with either the bio father's consent or if the bio father has abandoned the child.[/quote]

No, I understand that it CAN be done.  I'm saying that with a living and engaged parent (who doesn't happen to be married to the mother), her husband can't really adopt unless the biodad consents. My DH will never consent to this. However, I think that if his AP got married to someone who would help her with the child, it would certainly lessen the parenting load on the biodad (just from the logistics point of view). [/quote]
