My question involves adoption law for the State of: Texas
My wife and I have been separated for 11 months. She is pregnant by another man and wants to give the baby up in a private adoption. I am the presumed father and am being asked to waive my rights by the adoptive parents' lawyer. Because the baby is not mine, I'm wondering if I should demand a paternity test rather than simply giving up my rights? I suspect my wife is trying to avoid telling the real father that she is giving the baby up. I have not been able to file for divorce; in Texas you cannot get a divorce when the wife is pregnant.
