Fathers rights? Help with stepparent adoption case?

give it up, bud, leave her alone,,,,,,and maybe when she is 18 she will come looking for you and you can try to explain where you have been all those years,,,,,,,the only reason that you are concerned now is because you are selfish, and feel that something is being taken from you,,,,,something that you have neglected and ignored and have no right to any more,,,,,you gave up the right to expect or demand or even WANT to be a part of her life when you stopped being part of it for this long,,,,,do what is best for her,,,,,let someone who has been there continue to be there for her, love her, care for her and support her,,,,,It takes a helluva man to accept and want to raise another man's child as his own,,,,,,and for every one of you fools who walk out on a child, there is another one willing to do so,,,,,,,My son's father had not seen him or supported him in anyway for over eight years,,,,and when he heard that I was getting married, he called and wanted to see his son,,,,,,,I just laughed,,,,,and asked him to define the terms father and son,,,,,,he did NOT qualify as a father, and neither do you,
