From a legal standpoint, a father has no rights over the unborn child. Roe vs. Wade took care of that. But if the mother decides on having the baby, the father becomes responsible. * Any parent can file a Termination of Parental Rights (TPR) petition in the appropriate state court in the city or county of residence. Such a petition cannot be filed nor can child support or custodial issues be addressed until the child is born and paternity has been established.

What is the procedure for your husband to adopt your unborn child from a previous relationship?

It can be very complicated depending upon the laws of the state in which the couple reside and whether or not the biological father disagrees with the adoption. If the child is a result of an affair during the marriage, the court rarely intervenes if the husband accepts the child as his own, even if the biological father files for parental rights. If the child was conceived out of a relationship before the woman married, then no action can be taken until the child is born, parentage is established and the biological father voluntarily relinquishes his parental rights. If the biological father forfeits his rights to the child, the couple can petition the court for the husband to legally adopt said child. A biological parent CANNOT be forced to give up his parental rights to a child except by a court when it pertains to matters of abuse, neglect, etc. Please be advised, this is the basic legal procedure, exact information pertaining to the issue should be obtained from an attorney licensed to practice family law in the state where the couple reside.
