If the father is willing to sign off his rights can they
2 ANSWERS
Typically, the answer is no. The reason is that the State of Florida wants BOTH parents to be responsible for the child. In other words, both parents have a financial responsibility to the child, so that the state does not have to pick up the "slack" and suport the child. However, if there is another person to step into the shoes of the parent (ie: a stepfather) then the biological father can waive his rights and the child can be adopted by the stepparent.
By the way, if you were not married to the father, and the father's rights were not legally established by the court, then he really has no rights as the father anyway.
