Re: parental rights

You need to run (don't walk) to an attonrey's office to make sure that you do all the paperwork properly!

It is complicated to try to do it yourself.

If it's agreed, it should not be too expensive.

Unfortunately, you will need to let the father of the child know what's going on. Hopefully, he will agree too.

Best of luck!

Happy Thanksgiving!
