Are you on your son’s birth certificate as his father?
No, I am unfortunately not. His birth father has however asked when this will be happening (mainly because he doesn’t wish to spend any of his unemployment on “a kid he doesn’t even see” – quote) and basically doesn’t give a shit at all. We’ve looked into it and even with both parties consenting, it’s going to be a minumum of $4K to do the court process of me legally adopting him, lawyer’s fees etc. At this time in our lives we simply have to prioritize spending money on other things – but this will eventually happen.
