Legal Name change for my daughter.

[Ohiogal]

I was under the impression that at the age of 12 it becomes the child's consent to be adopted. The father can still step forth but ultimately after the age of twelve it is up to the child. If that is wrong, please correct me, and possibly add a link to a page that says differently.

It is not the child's choice to be able to stomp all over due process. She has to consent to be adopted at that time but that doesn't forgo the issue of service.

And ain't it sweet that my posts are being reported.

A few reasons. I tried at first,but found it wasn't worth it. I could raise that child by myself, without the help of the guy. When the other guy didn't send back the blood test I tried to contact him, and then heard he was out of town (most likely a ploy). So I went on my happy little pregnant way and did it on my own. Was it the smartest idea? obviously not, since we are in this situation now. But the past is the past.

Most likely a ploy? Really? How do you know it wasn't the truth?And blood test? And you were pregnant at the time? Oh okay. You are totally clueless then. The past is the past and you should have filed to establish paternity. A blood test means nothing. And you won't get a court order to blood test anyone for whom you may have had sex. There are paternity tests.

She doesn't like being told how unfair it is to her child NOT to know who her actual father is. Why? Because mommy has moved on to this dude and she wants to pretend to be virginal and perfect.

Me! Me! Call on me! I know the answer! It's because the OP didn't like the advice she was given because it conflicts with what she wants to do!
