hi, I would advise that your partner speaks to a solicitor asap. As father to unborn baby he is entitled to be part of any proceedings, do you know if his name will be on birth certificate? I would think a full assessment will need to be made of him (and you if you are together)  to see whether it would be in the baby's best interests to be placed with you.   

......can anyone help me ?

me and my partener have are own son(aged 1) and have another on the way. due 4th july. At one point we was splitt up and he had a one night stand. we have recently got back 2gether but just found out that another baby was consived. The mother of the baby is due some time in arugust but wonts to put the baby up 4 adoption.....me and  my partener has not long found out bout this, but he told me soon as he found out..

yes i was shocked, upset and confussed but once it settled in i realise that i wouldnt like the step brother to my 2 sons adopted and i new it wasnt what my paterner wonted.

we have recently been having meetings with a socail worker but she said my partener will probally have to go cort if he wont custrdy of the child and its goin 2 be a very long fight.

is there any advice anyone can give me ? as i am willing to help bring up the baby.and how coplicated is step perent adoption? please help
