My baby's biological father has had nothing to do with the pregnancy, never attended any appointments, and didn't care at all when I contacted him to let him know I had a pregnancy scare where I hadn't felt the baby move at all, and he also hasn't cared that I do have a high-risk pregnancy. He has refused to even be in the delivery room, and he has made it known multiple times that he doesn't want to be in the baby's life and that he wants nothing to do with the baby.
I realised nothing would make him change his mind, so I recently contacted him to ask if he would be willing to sign away his parental rights for any decisions I make regarding the baby, especially decisions about possibly placing the baby up for adoption, as my mental health is not in a good place and I just don't feel I can take care of the baby or give them the love they deserve. They the adoption agency won't allow me to do this unless he the biological father also signs the approval for the adoption to happen which he won't do.
He doesn't want to be in the baby's life, and at the same time, he refuses to sign his parental rights away. I genuinely don't know what to do right now.
Before anyone tells me I should have had an abortion, where I live, it is illegal to have an abortion. And before anyone tells me this, this is why you should be married and talk about having kids beforehand. Just know that we did talk about having kids together, and he was on board with it. It was only when I was 12 weeks away from my due date that he told me he didn't want the baby.
