Can I Give Up My Baby When the Baby Daddy Doesn’t Agree?

Yes, you can put up a baby for adoption without the father’s consent under certain circumstances. In Florida, the mother has complete responsibility for making the decisions about the future of her newborn baby. The birth father does not have the same rights.

Birth mothers, like you, worry about whether they can still place their babies for adoption if the father isn’t around, is unknown, or isn’t supportive of her choice. In many cases the answer is: YES, you can still put your newborn up for adoption. But the law is very complicated, and you don’t want to be bullied into making a decision that is against your wishes and the best interests of your baby. We will help you!
