Aa
Soooo, question.
I just got my baby boy's baby book... His biological father and I aren't together nor is he going to be in his life... I'm engaged to another man and he will be helping me raise him. Noah will have my last name until we are married... Who should I put down as daddy???
Dont put him on the birth certificate. But i would put his name as daddy and on family tree. And as he grows up he will know who really raised him and was there for him (step dad). You can add your husband in as 'step daddy'.
Exactly! If someone else stepped up to where they were supposed to be then why shouldn't I say he's the father? I had to drag bio dad to his ultrasound where with my current one he begged me to go lol. He got an apartment just so Noah and I could live together and he's buying him everything it's so cute :) I'll maybe...have a picture of his bio for him...but... I'm not sure yet. We were only together a month before I got pregnant! He was a mistake but I got my favorite baby out of it :) and I wouldn't trade him for the world
Sorry it commented before I finished.
To fill out the book for his son. Because what he did he regrets and knows he won't ever be around. And he's already giving up rights because he knows he failed.
Its all your choice though do what you want :)

I'm going through the exact thing!!! Lol but in my sons baby book I'm putting my boyfriend down because we are planning on getting married and he is already my sons father.. He's stepped up :) even though he's not born yet. He is acting like his father and I'm also making a book for him that has his 'sperm donor' so he knows. I'm talking still kinda to the father of my son but hardly at all.. And I've given him the job go fill out
That's true.. And by that time I'll tell him look up so and so on Facebook lmao! Just kidding of course
I grew up with a "stepdad" but to me he is my dad and in my eyes theres no other man more perfect in this world! When i was younger tho i wondered what the man that made me looked like, i dont have a picture or anything...thats why i say i put a little info in the back of my sons book...im fine with his dad not being in the picture because my sons better off but i just think of the future and things he'll eventualy wonder as i did....
I don't feel bad that his bio dad isn't in the picture... It's his fault the way stuff happened.. He's had plenty of time to get his crap together then gave me hell for dating someone else then he goes and starts dating a drug addict... Well my son isn't going to be around that..I just wanted tto hear some other people's opinions on this :)
I would put whoever you feel comfortable with.. but like ^^ said make a little note in the back about bio dad so he could read later, but if your fiancé is going to be "dad" let him. My stepdad has been around since I was 1, my bio dad was in and out until I was 7 and he left and my stepdad adopted me at 8, I know hes not my bio dad but he is my father.. and people say someone has the right just because they got you pregnant well guess what anyone can be a sperm donor a real man is the one who mans up and takes responsibility. :) do whatever you want and I wouldn't feel bad if you don't include his bio dad at all cause its your choice.
Well the baby's biological father is a jerk to me and he will never be on my son's birth certificate... He has NO baby pictures of himself and we don't even talk. My fiancé and I aren't going to be breaking up... Noah and I will be moving in with him after Noah is born. So he will be his father and call him daddy... I won't hide who his dad is, because well... His dad is black and my fiance is white lol. So! But I don't want him thinking this dude's his dad when he's not even around for him..
It depends on how you want to do the book.. if someone else is taking responsibility and raising him with you id put your current bf/fiance.. but id also keep something small with information or pictures of the babys biological father and put it away because most likely your son will want to know who his bio father is one day
With my oldest son his dad isnt and hasnt been around at all so in his baby book i left all the daddy stuff blank but in the back of the book i wrote him letters, things about his dad and his dads family tree...incase when he gets older hed like to know or look for him....
I would say putting his real dad on the birth certificate. Since even though he probably isn't going to be part of his life, he's still his father. But that's just my opinion. :)
