Adoption by husband

[qzsuzy2000]

I had a child out of marriage with an ex-boyfriend in Virgina and after the birth we signed over our parental rights to my parents until we could take care of the child ourselves. I recently married another man and my parents signed back over my parental rights to me. Now my husband wants to adopt my child since the father has had nothing to do with the child for almost two years. What I want to know is that since he signed over his parental rights when my child was born and since my parents signed back my parental rights but only to me not my ex-boyfriend, do I need to get his permission for my husband to adopt my child?

If he has already signed over his rights once, then you should not have to have his permission. If anyone should have to give permission, it should be your parents, however, with them giving up their parental rights, it should be a given that parental rights are strictly yours.

Good luck to you.
