[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you cannot give up your parental rights expect if someone else adopts the child.  That's not how it works.  [/quote]

Yes, I know. I have family members willing to adopt. [/quote]

A family mecannot just adopt without you also giving up your rights.  You need to talk to a lawyer. [/quote]

I have spoken to an attorney. She has done several cases like this, where one parent have up their rights and a family member adopted as the second responsible party. So yes, my family member can adopt while I retain my rights. [/quote]

What do you mean? Gay couples have been doing it for many years. It’s called second parent adoption.

It’s easier to accomplish when there is no existing other bio parent, but stepparent adoptions are done all the time. [/quote]

NP and usually you have to be in a relationship with the other adopting party (i.e. stepparent) rather than say adopting with your mother or sister.. 
 We don't know what state OP is in though so perhaps it is permissible there.[/quote]
