missmishel: pls i would like to know if my husband to be can legally adopt three months old son. his birth cert is carrying his biological father's name, but i can still get a new one carrying my own surname if that will make it easy cos i was not married to his father.

mollytinrox: Truth be told, the adoption process is a very tiring one in Nigeria, and you can't be too sure right now that he doesn't want his baby. Most men shy away from diapers and poo and night time crying of their babies, but when he becomes a brilliant 7 year old and has been properly potty trained, they show up with their family members to take 'their' son.

Before you do anything, get the consent of his biological father in writing, and get witnesses.

Your husband to be shouldn't be in too much of a hurry. You don't want trouble in 20 years from one man who's only claim to your son is a similarity in their DNA.

missmishel: thank u all for ur contribution. just that i dont want the father of my child closer to him now may till he's old enough to take decision on his own. that's just what am trying to do. we were about geting married and i was months pregnant, but his mom refused to suport cos am not from his tribe and before i know, he changed, walk away and start dating another woman. so they dont care about my baby too and that's why i want to do everything to protect my child.
